Description
*** Check out Yoink for Mac for free with the 28-day trial, available on the website: https://eternalstorms.at/yoink/mac ***
Yoink 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

Ratings and Reviews
Solid utility
Yoink is a great example of my favourite kind of tool; it’s small, it’s effecient, it does one thing, and it does it really, really well. When you’re not using it, it stays out of your way - but it’s easy to get to when you need it. When dealing with multiple file moves between many source and destination folders, I find it way easier to just drag stacks of files into and out of Yoink, then I do to mess around with multiple tabs in Finder. The developer is friendly and responsive, which is worth the low price alone - all in all, a solid buy I’d wholeheartedly recommend to anyone!
Spaces + Yoink = Heaven!
Everyone uses their Mac differently, and this app is so versitile it will solve different problems for different people, but for me it has really made things better in two ways:
1. I'm a heavy user of macOS's Spaces feature, and dragging and dropping across multiple spaces is clunky. Sure, it works, you bump into the edge, wait, then continue the drag, but it's so much easier to just drop the item onto Yoink, then go to the detination space, and finish the drag.
2. When editing audio on a small screen it's great to be able to drag a clip form the Finder to Yoink, then swtich to FinalCut or Amadeus Pro and drop the clip into the appropriate place on the timeline.
Easy drag & drop on the Mac? Yes please!
You know that feeling of running out of trackpad when dragging an item? Yeah. Add full screen apps to the mix and you are surely set up for frustration.
I bought Yoink a couple of years ago and there's no day passed I haven't used it. Quite possible the best few quid I spent on a Mac utility.
But don't just think about moving files, with Yoing you can move things in and out of application windows too.
Drag photos from the Photos app, webpages, graphics from design apps (such as Sketch) or text from your favourite text editor (such as Sublime Text).
Yoink is constantly updated and I haven't had any issues over the years (even though I usually upgrade the OS on day one every year).
So don't think too much just buy it. It works. :)
