If you want to run something "natively" on the Mac, I would suggest quisk:

I haven't tried it yet myself, but it appears to allow some level of 
integration with the KX3 by means of hamlib.

In order to build it and get it working, you'll need to install some additional 
libraries -- I'd suggest to use MacPorts for this:
https://www.macports.org

If you are not comfortable building software on your Mac, then the only other 
"native" option I know of is the DL2SDR program:
