United StatesYoink 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 For further information and usage tips for getting the most out of Yoink, please visit its website.

Life changing
My personal number one must-have. Thank you.
United StatesEssential tool!
This is one of those tools that really should already exist in the OS. I provides a easily accessible and visible place to hold nearly on sort of object whether it be a text clipping, and image, or a file. The best part is that it has a Sharing extension so you can use it as a "buffer" to send something to if the app you want to bring it to doesn't have a Share extension. This is probably the best feature. NOTE: Ventura chnages how it handles some third party extensions. To enable Yoink, its extension is no longer under "Sharing". It's now in "Added Extensions" and needs to be enabled manually. Also there is some odd behavior when using Stage Manager, but it's more of an annoyance than anything.
United StatesNot compatable with Ventura
WARNING: This was once indispensible tool does NOT WORK ON VENTURA. The last supported OS is Monterrey. There are numerous problems.Problems include the share extension is missing, clipping no longer works, and the behavior with Stage Manager is a dumpster fire. I reported them to support and haven't gotten a response. It would appear the developper no longer is supporting this paid product.
United StatesConvenience
Been using Yoink for over 5 years and it has become clutch in my day to day computur experience. Having that hot folder where I can load my documents into for when I am ready to deposit them into a new folder or upload saves me time and improves my workflow by alot. Only negative I found with it that the yoink bin sometimes obscures parts of my screen that I rather it not or it pops up when dragging a file for another reason aside from adding it to yoink and it pops up. Thats a new challenge for the developers..Let's see what updates they come up with.
United StatesPrimo Must Have App for Mac
Exceptional App for Mac Even has quick menus with right click
United StatesAn indespensible part of my workflow
I use the app everyday several times a day. If you are someone who needs to bounce between apps constantly and you drag n drops a lot, you should have this app.
United Statesalmost perfect
so convenient to have. only downside is that it's hard to bring back what you had put on side last.

- When making Yoink ignore apps, you can now choose whether you'd like the fn key or the shift key to temporarily invert those settings (or disable inverting entirely).
