I've not seen a 'jsFiddle for the desktop', but there are several ways to force your browser to refresh when you save a file or at a set interval.

One advantage of choosing this route is that you can use your existing editor in half of your screen, put a browser window in the other half, and watch the live preview update as you code. Having a wide monitor helps too.
