You can get macOS PostgreSQL packages from several different sources. Weather forecast.
This is the native Mac app that you see when you double click Postgres.app in the Finder. For compatibility reasons we build the different parts on different versions of macOS. The binaries for PostgreSQL 9.4 - 10 are built on macOS 10.10 with Xcode 7.2.1. Postico is a modern Postgres client for OSX, built by the same developer who built Postgres.app (mentioned above). It is free, but you can buy a license to unlock additional power features. This is the GUI that I use to manage Postgres because it is built specifically for Mac and has a beautiful, very easy to use (but powerful) UI.
