Answers.Body: <p>Scid is what I use. It's compiled to <a href="http://scid.sourceforge.net/download.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">a native app</a>. It seems to work fairly well for this purpose, although Stockfish 2.2.2 is acting weird, you might try 2.1.1 if you have problems.

Body: <p>Is anyone running a UCI-compatible GUI on a Mac?  Preferably something native and modern, so WINE and Rosetta (etc) are not needed.  My goal is to simply set up chess positions and let Stockfish analyze.</p>
  
  <p>Any suggestions would be appreciated.</p>

  Scid is what I use. It's compiled to [a native app](http://scid.sourceforge.net/download.html). It seems to work fairly well for this purpose, although Stockfish 2.2.2 is acting weird, you might try 2.1.1 if you have problems. I actually [wrote a howto](http://wes.skeweredrook.com/analyzing-chess-games-with-scid-and-stockfish-on-mac-osx-lion/), even though it's fairly simple.
  
  I've recently been running Stockfish with multiple variations turned up to 100, so it looks at all moves deeply, which you wouldn't want to do during a game, but for analysis that you plan to run a long time, it catches some unlikely good moves earlier.
