Yoink for Mac

Yoink for Mac v3.6.100 is now available, containing a few improvements and bug fixes.

What is Yoink?

Yoink appears at the edge of your screen when you begin to drag something, allowing you to place it there so you can more easily and comfortably navigate to the destination of your files.

Yoink in Action

Not only can you drag files to it, but also app-content like images from websites, text snippets, urls, and more.
It also comes with an easily accessible clipboard history widget, allowing you to re-copy your previous clipboard contents.

“This app saved tons of hours for me and boosted my productivity. Totally recommended.”

What’s New in Yoink v3.6.100

  • Improved compatibility with Zen Browser, where dragged images would take a little while before they appeared in Yoink
  • Double-click Yoink in Finder when it’s already running to open its Settings
  • Improved the way files are laid out in Finder windows when they’re set to Icon view
  • Fixes an issue with the clipboard history menu, and a bug on macOS Tahoe 26 where Yoink’s menu bar icon wouldn’t accept drags anymore

Yoink is a one-time purchase on the Mac App Store, or available as part of a Setapp subscription.

Today’s my 39th birthday. Yes, I’m that old. It’s the last time my age will have a leading 3.
Unless I live to be 300. But I’ll cross that bridge once I get there.

To mark this random occasion, I thought I’d do a little giveaway of my apps Yoink for Mac, Yoink for iPhone and iPad, ScreenFloat for Mac, Transloader for Mac, iPhone and iPad, and Tameno for Apple Watch, iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Apple TV.

Because I don’t have a fancier way of doing it, I’ll just list the promo codes to be used on the App Store here.
Please be so kind as to add a comment with the one you used so I can update this post and cross them off – thank you!

Here’s how it works:

  1. Copy the desired code to your clipboard
  2. Go to this page on the App Store
  3. Paste the code and press Redeem
  4. Enjoy!

If you’re using Yoink on macOS Sequoia, you might have encountered an issue where Yoink would not accept any files anymore:

Or if you’re using Transloader on macOS Sequoia, you might find your Link- and File Actions not working correctly:

Basically any app that handles file URLs and saves them as a security-scoped bookmark for later access can be bitten by this bug, currently occurring on macOS 15.0 and 15.0.1.

This is caused by a bug in the macOS daemon process called “ScopedBookmarkAgent”, according to a CoreOS engineer on macOS, as stated on the Apple Developer Forums:

What you’re hitting is bug in “ScopedBookmarksAgent” [sic] which can cause it hang if it happens to have been launched when the keychain was also locked (for example, late in the screen lock process). That bug is fixed as of macOS 15.1 beta 4.

– DTS Engineer, CoreOS/Hardware

The downside is that 3rd party developers like myself cannot fix this in their apps. Apple has to, in macOS.
The upside is that with macOS 15.1, the bug will reportedly be fixed and things should work as they used to.

As a temporary workaround, you can:
– Quit Yoink (or any other afflicted app)
– Using Activity Monitor.app, quit the ScopedBookmarkAgent process
– Relaunch Yoink (or any other afflicted app), and it should work again (for a while)

My apologies for the inconvenience. Here’s to hoping macOS 15.1 will be released soon.

Cheers,
– Matthias
