approf14.1.3

Use approf to work with pprof from a native macOS application, bringing profiling analysis into a desktop environment built for Mac users. It provides a graphical home for pprof, the profiling tool used to inspect runtime performance data and investigate where software spends time or resources.

The app is aimed at developers who need to examine profiles while diagnosing slow code, performance regressions, or resource-heavy behavior. Its defining capability is the native presentation of pprof rather than a general-purpose development workspace with unrelated functions. This makes approf relevant during local performance investigations and other development tasks that rely on pprof’s profiling workflow.

approf is a Developer Tools program distributed as freeware. The current version is 14.1.3 and requires macOS 14 Sonoma or later. It runs on both Intel-based Macs and Macs using Apple silicon.
