Now, Ricci Adams has found a way to virtually stop the nagging for specific apps. (I found out about this from Jeff Johnson’s Desolation of Blog blog).
First things first: Please use your own discretion when trying this. Consider if you’re savvy enough to work with the Terminal, and if you really want to remove the permission reminder for an app.
Apparently, there is a TCC (Transparency, Consent and Control) – protected file that keeps track of when to show the next nag screen for specific screen capturing apps, located at
Using Terminal (which first needs to be granted Full Disk Access in System Settings > Privacy & Security), you can set that date far into the future so you won’t ever see the nag again.
For example, I wanted to make absolutely sure it never bothers me again for my own app ScreenFloat, so I just set it to my retirement date: January 1st, 4321.
I’ve got a couple of updates for you today: Yoink for iOS has been updated with new widgets and Control Center access, Tameno gets new Control Center and watchOS widgets, and Yoink for Mac gets a brand new Clipboard History widget.
Yoink for iPad and iPhone
Yoink for iOS – your files and snippets shelf for anything you can drag, copy, share and download – gets a couple of cool new widgets for your home screen and, on iOS 18, your Control Center, while fixing a couple of issues along the way.
What’s New in Yoink for iPad and iPhone v2.5?
+ iOS 18 Control Center Widgets
These allow you to: – start monitoring your clipboard with Yoink in the background (configurable with a time-out, and a filter (save everything / only images / only texts / only links) – Paste your clipboard into Yoink manually – Scan a document with Yoink – Sketch in Yoink
+ New File List Widget for your Home Screen
Get quick access to everything you stored in Yoink. It’s configurable, so you can let it only show images, or links, for example. Additionally, you can set it up to open files in Picture-in-Picture, so you can open a PDF, an eMail, or even a website and have it ready in any app you are in the PiP overlay.
+ Bug fixes and improvements
I’ve also fixed a couple of issues with Yoink’s keyboard – which allows you to access files stored in Yoink whenever you’re editing text, the clipboard monitor, and the main list display of items.

ScreenFloat v2.2.2 is now available and fixes a couple of irritating bugs.
What is ScreenFloat?
ScreenFloat is your Screenshot All-Rounder. Capture screenshots and recordings that float above other windows, allowing you to reference anything on your screen, anywhere. It’s like Picture-in-Picture, only for screen captures. It keeps your Desktop clutter-free, as every capture you make is stored in its Shots Browser, where you can manage, organize and find your shots. They’re also synced across your Macs. Easily copy the non-copyable, as ScreenFloat recognizes text, barcode and faces in your shots, which also allows you to effortlessly redact sensitive parts of your screenshots. Add non-destructive annotations, redactions and markup, crop, “fold“, resize, or de-retinize your shots, or trim, cut or mute your recordings. Quickly pick colors. Create shareable and embeddable links for your captures using iCloud, ImageKit.io or Cloudinary.com. And so much more.
A screenshot is just a screenshot. Until you use ScreenFloat.
Tip: Check out the Get to Know ScreenFloat 2 Blog Post series for a deep-dive into its functionality and what it can do for you.

With Tameno, you set auto-repeating, “tapping” timers – the perfect companion for repetitive tasks. It’s available for your Apple Watch, iPhone, iPad, Mac and Apple TV as a universal binary – always ready, wherever you might need it.
Set up an interval between 2 seconds and 20 minutes, and Tameno lets you know each time it elapses (by tapping you, by sound, or by screen flashing), and then re-sets itself to alert you again.
Starting your first interval is as easy as launching the app and selecting Start Tapping.
Note: You can also use the play/pause button on your Apple TV’s remote to start and stop Tameno.
Changing the Interval
Use the + and – buttons at the sides to increase and decrease your interval. Use single clicks on your remote to change it by seconds, click-and-hold to change it by minutes.
Accessing Recently Used Intervals
At the top left, select the back-in-time button to access your recently used intervals.
Settings
At the top right, select the gear button to access Tameno’s settings.
Count to Zero
When enabled, instead of counting a 5 second interval down 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 (etc), Tameno counts it down as 4, 3, 2, 1, 0, 4, 3, 2, 1, 0 (etc).
(Recycling the video for Apple Watch here, but it’s just the same in the Apple TV app)
Audio Feedback
If selected, Tameno plays a “Tick” sound every time your interval elapses.
Visual Feedback
Flashes your screen in the color of your choice with every elapsing interval. For a video of this, please see “Starting Your First Interval“.
That’s a Wrap
That’s all there is to Tameno. It’s a simple app that lets you use auto-repeating timers so you don’t have to count down in your head anymore, freeing your mind for more important things. I hope you like it!
