PS: Please remember the Mac users... :roll:
I'm afraid Mac users are mostly no programmers... I have the same 'issue' with PCG Tools ... enough people requesting PCG Tools and now PCGrid for Mac, but no Mac programmer who can/wants to spend time in porting it.
What are they written in? I have written something very similar to PCGrid for myself that runs on mac/iOS - with the exception being I initially output the program/combi info from PCG Tools and it keep it in a sqlite db- it can't read pcg files. My main purpose was to be able to find things quickly without scrolling through touch screen menus to find for example a piano sound I know is available, but don't know where.
PCG Tools and PCGrid are both written in C#. For the GUI WPF is used for PCG Tools, I'm not sure if this is also true for PCGrid. Also the .NET library is used (.NET Framework 4).

C# is not a problem to be ported to a Mac (with the MONO project). However, WPF is and afaik version 4 of .NET Framework is also not supported by mono.

There is also called PCG Tools for Web (created by Matthieu Maes) that works on a web browser (and thus usable on Mac, Unix etc too). It uses the same library for reading PCG files as PCG Tools (so this is fairly easy to port) and as GUI Silverlight.
