All,

Thanks for the tips. SumatraPDF worked well as it updates as the underlying PDF is refreshed by ConTeXt - which makes the dev-preview cycle really quick.

I will compile all the tips in this thread into the Wiki.

best regards,
Ramkumar

I know of two muPDF GUIs:

- llpp https://github.com/moosotc/llpp
- zathura https://pwmt.org/projects/zathura/

Both are fairly minimalistic, but if you only want to display pages
they do the job. Zathura also supports synctex.
