What’s New in Yoink v2.5.4?

  1. For instance, a rtf “rich text” file in Yoink has its rich text data representation, as well as a plain text one. Previously, Yoink would show this file as two files inside a container folder in Files.app, now it’s one file: the rtf. ↩︎

Yoink for Mac drastically improves and simplifies drag and drop on the Mac. Now in version 3.7, it does it even better – many improvements and bug fixes make sure of that.

What is Yoink?

Yoink is a temporary place for your file drags. Whether you want to collect images from a website, text snippets from a document, or move files around in Finder, Yoink offers a “shelf” you can place them in so you can move freely to the files’ actual destination. It can hold virtually anything you can drag and appears whenever you start to drag something. It’s also highly customizable to fit your needs. It also comes with a clipboard history, easily accessibly via widgets, or the “shelf” itself.

What’s New in Yoink v3.7?

  • Yoink now automatically hides again if it was hidden before a drag
  • The app is now more responsive and stable
  • The “File in Trash” popover can now be muted
    • Additionally, a Trash icon is now shown for files currently in the trash
  • Improves support for drags from private Firefox windows
  • Improves support for drags from Transmit
  • Updated the UI
  • Increased the number of copied items the clipboard history can hold
  • Improves behavior when screen changes occur
  • Fixes a bug where Yoink would hide even though a file was just dropped onto it
  • Fixes potential issues with Quick Look, Continuity Camera and the Clipboard History widget
  • Finally removed the experimental “resolve alias” option. While it did resolve alias files, the resulting path was no longer usable by Yoink on newer versions of macOS
  • and much more!

Yoink for Mac Icon

What’s new in Yoink v3.5.3?

  • Continuity Camera is now supported by Yoink and lets you save photos or documents from your iPhone or iPad right to Yoink (requires macOS Mojave 10.14 and iOS 12)
  • Keep the FN key on your keyboard pressed to temporarily toggle the “file lock”, or temporarily disable Yoink altogether during drags
  • The keyboard shortcut (by default, F5) now has three functions: Press once to toggle Yoink, press-and-hold to recall previously removed files, double-press to add your clipboard’s contents
  • Yoink’s position on your screen can now be more easily and natively changed, by dragging the window itself

Aside from these new features, version 3.5.3 also makes a couple of performance and stability improvements:

  • Reduces CPU (and power) usage when checking for drags
  • No longer checks for drags in most games
  • Improved compatibility with Panic, Inc.’s Transmit, Apple, Inc.’s Remote Desktop and DevonThink

Here’s Continuity Camera in action:

Yoink Overview

What is Yoink?

Yoink offers a temporary place for file- and app-content drags to free your mouse so you can more easily and quickly navigate to the actual destination of your drag.
This is especially helpful when it comes to moving and copying files between different windows, spaces or (fullscreen-) apps.

How does Yoink fit into my workflow?

Yoink stays in the background most of the time, waiting for you to drag something. The app fades in at the edge of your screen when you start a drag, like a file in Finder, or app-content like an image from a website, or text from a document.
Drag your files to Yoink, and your mouse is free for you to navigate more easily and comfortably. Yoink will hold on to the files you drag to it until you drag them out again.

The app can be customized in a number of ways.
You can set up where it should appear (at either side of your screen, top, center or bottom; or at the mouse cursor), when it should appear (when a drag starts, or when a drag reaches the edge of your screen) and what apps it should (or should not) appear in.
If a file drag contains multiple files, a Stack is created so you can drag them out together again easily. Stacks can also be split up if you’d like to drag out one specific file in that drag.
Quick Look is available for all files you add to Yoink, as icon previews for quick identification and as full previews for a detailed look.
A keyboard shortcut lets you hide Yoink if you currently don’t need it, and show it again when you do.
