Is there any KCacheGrind alternative for Mac Os X outta there?

Question

I'm looking for a KCacheGrind alternative, or at least a binary package for Mac Os X?

I'd to use KCacheGrind with XDebug for PHP, but Mac Os X is the right environnement here...

Thank you

Edit: I know I can use MacPort but I'm looking for an alternative of this painful installation.

Maybe something "in the mac way"

At least as of three years ago, kcachegrind was the only tool available for Macs. I hope that has changed by now, for your sake. — Charles, Mar 25 '11 at 03:18
I'm not a Mac expert, but you could use [this technique](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/375913/what-can-i-use-to-profile-c-code-in-linux/378024#378024) if you can randomly interrupt php (like with Ctrl-C) and see what it's doing. — Mike Dunlavey, Mar 26 '11 at 12:03

You can install KCacheGrind using MacPorts:

sudo port install valgrind kcachegrind4

There are also some alternatives like:

WebGrind
qcachegrind (brew install qcachegrind); See: installation steps on OS X.
XHProf: A Hierarchical Profiler for PHP (pecl install xhprof)
MCG premium app can analyse your application profile data natively on your Mac (released to the Mac App Store)

Older: MacCallGrind (semi-commercial alternative, free version which is limited to 3MB grind files)

At the time of writing "kcachegrind has been made obsolete by the port kcachegrind4" - install kcachegrind4 instead. – Johan Fredrik Varen May 06 '15 at 07:55
kcachegrind4 is not compatible with MacOS Mojave – Dejv Sep 12 '19 at 05:18

You might want to check out WebGrind

Webgrind is an Xdebug profiling web frontend in PHP5. It implements a subset of the features of kcachegrind and installs in seconds and works on all platforms.

This. Takes only a minute to install. If you run it on the same server where you have your xdebug, it will even find and pick up the .trace files from /tmp. – ᴍᴇʜᴏᴠ Oct 05 '20 at 08:51

qcachegrind is the qt based 'cousin' of kcachegrind. Works like a treat.

Another premium alternative is ProfilingViewer, available on the Mac App Store. Handles multiple types of costs. Can display the data as Treemap, Callgraph, Heatmap, can hide system functions and has a source file viewer annotated with the costs. Can create PDF's. Fast and has a small memory footprint.

MacCallGrind and WebGrind is the true best answers for MacOS. I can't comment kenorb answer so I have to make new one.

MacCallGrind link to MacUpdate is wrong - their's price is much higher then from developers site (http://www.maccallgrind.com/).

I personally find MacCallGrind grinder feature very useful in combine with Transmit (http://panic.com/transmit/) feature - mount ssh/sftp as disk. It automatically opens every new cache grind file that appears at remote location.

MacCallGrind war rename to MCG https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/mcg/id799178412?mt=12 — OzzyCzech, Apr 06 '14 at 18:58

You can now install qcachegrind with macports as well:

sudo port selfupdate
sudo port install graphviz qcachegrind

The app should appear in the Macports folder of your Applications

The best alternative for KCacheGrind is PhpStorm Xdebug analyzer, that integrated with your source code and is very easy to find slow modules in your Magento project
