Yoink: The Ultimate Drag-and-Drop Enhancement Tool
Yoink streamlines your file management by making drag-and-drop actions effortless and efficient, transforming the way you interact with files on your Mac.
Yoink for iPad and iPhone offers a convenient way to store and organize various types of items that you drag, copy, share, or download for later use. It eliminates the need to constantly switch between different applications while collecting items in one central location.
The app supports a wide range of file types, including images, text snippets, web URLs, emails, and documents. Whether you're dragging, copying, sharing, or downloading them, Yoink can handle it all.
Here's what some users have to say about Yoink:
- "The best shelf app on iOS" - Igloouk, UK App Store
- "Most useful app in the iOS store. What a gem." - noway170, Austrian App Store
- "A godsend. Get this. Now." - mr chairboy, US App Store
When using Yoink as a Slide-Over or Side-by-Side app on iPad, you can easily drag items into it from any other app. On iPhone, you have the option to use Yoink's Share extension or copy-paste items into the app.
All items are stored in Yoink for later use and are accompanied by rich previews for easy identification. Most file types also offer full previews. If you drag multiple items together, they are combined into a Stack.
Yoink seamlessly integrates with the system, providing several useful features:
- Clipboard Monitor: Yoink's clipboard monitor saves everything you copy or cut, even while Yoink is running in the background. You can customize which types of data Yoink should save using the Picture-in-Picture overlay.
- Picture-in-Picture: Yoink's Picture-in-Picture overlay is not limited to videos. You can view pictures, PDFs, emails, websites, and scroll through documents directly in the overlay.
- iCloud Sync: Keep your Yoink items synchronized across all of your devices using iCloud.
- Handoff: Transfer files between iPhones, iPads, and Macs (requires the separate Mac Yoink app) using Handoff.
- Action/Share Extension: Send any item you can share via the system-wide Share sheet directly to Yoink.
- Keyboard: Yoink has its own keyboard for easy and quick insertion of stored items without launching the app.
- Spotlight Integration: Easily find any item in Yoink using Spotlight search and drag them directly from the search results.
- Today Widget: Access Yoink's items and save clipboard contents into Yoink directly from the Notification Center.
- Shortcuts/Siri Suggestions: Automate processes with Siri Shortcuts and Suggestions, such as adding items from the clipboard to Yoink or copying items from Yoink.
- Files Integration: Access Yoink's files from any app that supports iOS 11's document browser feature.
