No, no one has ever undertaken a MacOS-native UI for GnuCash. One of the core developers sketched out a QT one, covering only the basics, as an experiment a few years ago. The code is still present and I think working in the 2.6 series. You can use CMake to generate an Xcode project if you're averse to compiling on the command line. See https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Cutecash. Mind, it will look different from the Gtk UI that the distributed GnuCash uses, but it still won't look native.
