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.
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.
