Description

Try Yoink for Mac for free - download the demo version at https://eternalstorms.at/yoink/mac
Yoink is also available for iPhone & iPad: https://eternalstorms.at/yoink/ios

Yoink simplifies and improves drag and drop between windows, apps, spaces and fullscreen apps, by providing a temporary "shelf" for your files and app-content.
It frees up your mouse, enabling you to navigate more comfortably to the destination of your files.

When you start dragging files in Finder or content from an application, Yoink fades in at the edge of your screen, allowing you to drag to it.
While Yoink is holding on to your files for you, you can more easily and comfortably navigate to the destination of your files, without having to keep the mouse button clicked the entire time.

Overview of Yoink's main features:
- A "shelf" at the edge of your screen for files and app-content you'd like to move or copy, which behaves like Finder (regarding moving and copying)
- Yoink follows you everywhere - windows, spaces and (fullscreen-) apps
- Icons are created using QuickLook, allowing easy identification
- Multiple files dragged to Yoink at once are condensed into a Stack, making it easy to drag them out together
- System Services, the Quick Action and Share extensions allow storing files in Yoink without having to use drag and drop
- Handoff to transfer files between all the Macs, iPads and iPhones you're using Yoink on
- Clipboard History, which lets you store previously copied content in Yoink, or copy again
- Highly customizable - you decide where, when and if Yoink appears
- "Share" to and from Yoink
- Build workflows with Yoink's Shortcuts integration

If you have a Mac, you need to get Yoink.

This app has totally changed the way I do research on the web and how I move files around. I no longer need to worry about dragging and dropping between open windows or managing multiple open tabs, I just have to let Yoink hold everything indefinitely until I’m ready to use them. Yoink stays out of the way until you need it and gets out of your way quickly. This app is a game-changer. So much value for so little money!

A small request for a future version: It would be nice to be able to specify Yoink’s behavior on a per app basis as well. e.g.: Appear at the cursor on drag only for specific apps. I find that for apps like Safari, a user would never typically drag the content in the browser, so that should automatically trigger Yoink on drag. Whereas in any of the Adobe apps, dragging content is the norm, so trigerring Yoink only when dragging to the side makes more sense.

Productivity Multiplier

I use Outlook for work emails and I receive many attachments daily for review and comment. Outlook always opens attachments as read-only, which means you need to save them somehwere if you need to make amendments and then delete them once done. Well no longer! With Yoink, you can drag attachments into the shelf, open and edit it, save changes, email it back and then delete the document from Yoink without having to switch desktops. Makes document management so much easier. Highly recommended!

Brilliant!

I can't work without Yoink any more. It's such a handy app which you'll miss when you have used it and don't have it. It makes my workflow much faster and easier.
