Preview.app is part of OSX.

While I normally use Frescobaldi’s internal PDF view and Acrobat Pro for every 
other PDF, I tried Preview.app for some TeX projects. My run script always uses 
OSX’s "open" (similiar to xdg-open on Linux and start on Windows) to open the 
completed PDF file.
Preview.app sometimes updates the already open file and sometimes opens a new 
window, I don’t get on what that might depend.
Also the "old" windows sometimes update somewhen (but mostly not).
