Yoink is a Mac utility that helps you boost up your productivity. With its help, you can easily copy and paste text content, files, and almost any type of Cocoa program data on your Mac computer.
The tool provides you with useful instructions, supports drag-and-drop actions, and immediately completes any given task. The first thing you need to do is to select a position on the screen and window size for the program's interface. There, you will drop the data you wish to get easy access to.
For instance, you can use this program to copy files from one folder location to another, import data in a utility that supports drag-and-drop actions, etc.
The only problem I had with the utility during its testing was that its main window occasionally failed to automatically hide from my desktop. Normally, when unused, the aforementioned screen disappears from your monitor. Still, this doesn't happen often and can easily be fixed by moving your mouse cursor over its main window and then remove it from the interface.
All in all, Yoink is a great solution for handling content on your Mac. It provides you with a simple and quick way to copy and paste almost any type of data, such as files, text content, etc. What's more, it comes with a very reasonable price.
v3.1 [Sep 3, 2015]
- New Languages: Chinese, French, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese and Portuguese.
- To provide a cleaner and nicer interface, Yoink now shows some interface elements only when they're needed (when the mouse is near).
- Improved support for mails from Mail.app - an email can now be dragged from Mail.app to Yoink and then to Calendar.app to create events from it, with a reference to the email
- Improved support for Photos.app
- Reduced CPU cycles and power usage when waiting for "promised files"
- In order to use less power and CPU cycles further, Yoink now does not try to generate QuickLook Preview icons for files like apps, folders and volumes - those are just icons anyway
- Improved handling of webloc files and different url schemes (like afp or ftp)
- When several files are picked in Finder to be dragged to Yoink, Yoink now remembers the order of the files
- Added a new Quick Tour and About window
- Fixed a bug regarding displaying QuickLook Preview Icons during launch of the app
- Fixed a bug concerning webarchives that couldn't be opened after being added to Yoink.
- Fixed a bug in the German localization where the "Clean All" button would be placed inappropriately when resizing Yoink's window
- Fixed a cosmetic issue where Yoink's window would animate at launch from default size to the user's preferred size
- Fixed a bug where a very, very short drag would show Yoink without hiding it afterwards.
