8 months ago I had this issue too, thanks Dan @danmechanic Where can I find the 0.5.1, prebuild binary? I tried doing an install via Pip (python 3 on mac) I had issues with getting it installed properly. @zebity Did this work for you? Did you build a binary or install via git/ pip?
The port that are listed for me from Mac terminal are
/dev/cu.usbserial-AR0K8UDT /dev/cu.usbserial-2
both are related to my usb>rs232 adapter, howver, neither is an option in 0.5.0 (from pull-down)
thanks

BUG:
On MacOS Big Sur access to serial port is via USB/RS-232 Dongle.
The this uses Apple's new built in USB/RS-232 Driver and result in creation of device name such as: -- /dev/tty.usbserial-A50285BI (for FTDI based dongle) and -- /dev/tty-usbserial-1430 (for Prolific based dongle)
The xglucid application does not allow passing of device via startup commend (ie -d /dev/tty.usbserial-1430 ) as per the command line tool.
On Big Sur the UI does not provide any selectable tty ports so it is not possible to override the /dev/tty.usbserial default.
I tried to do work around by creating soft link from /dev/tty.usbserial -> /dev/tty.usbserial-A50285BI but MacOS does not appear to allow you to write to the /dev directly even using "sudo". So it appears appears there is not workaround.
Could GUI either allow for override via command / configuration or be fixed to allow selection of device via the UI drop down list on Big Sur.
Thank you.
