Auto reload Latex-generated pdfs on MacOS

I like to write my Latex docs in Atom and use Latexmk to watch for changes and recompile everything automatically. The problem is that on macOS, there aren’t that many pdf viewers supporting automatic file reload (e.g. in Adobe Acrobat there is no such feature).

A solution is to open the pdf in TeXShop and keep editing the tex file in Atom, as described in this StackExchange post. TeXShop steals window focus when it reloads the pdf, which is very annoying – fortunately, this can be prevented by executing the following in the terminal (kudos to this comment):
