Are there any Go programs for Mac that predict territory?

I was looking through various Go programs, and saw this feature listed on the website for the Program "leela" http://www.sjeng.org/leela.html

I believe it might be in Many Faces of Go as well?

I haven't seen anything like that in Go programs for Mac, though perhaps I haven't looked hard enough. Does such a feature exist in a Mac Go program?

Thanks

Edit: Or the Analyze game feature in SmartGo

Don't use such programs. Just calculate and count points by yourself. This is very important skill which need to be taught by yourself - you need to do this in every game you play, because if you don't know if you are behind or ahead how can you plan a strategy, or how can you choose between invading or reducing opponent's territory? If you want to be a dan player than you need to count points in your games. There is a simple trick to make it easier - do not count every point but count every pair of points. I hope it helps.

It would not be a bad exercise to find all the inaccuracies in that screenshot from leela. It's hard to say the exact territory in that game, but the estimate is clearly bad.
