About:
Yoink is a macOS drag-and-drop utility that acts as a temporary holding space for files, text, and links. It improves workflow efficiency by providing a shelf to collect items from various locations before passing them to their final destination. This tool is particularly useful for managing complex multi-step tasks and organizing content across different applications.
Key Features:
  • Temporary storage shelf for files, text, and links
  • Drag-and-drop interface for easy item collection and placement
  • Supports keyboard shortcuts and Quick Look previews
  • Sticky windows that stay on top of other applications
  • Customizable appearance and behavior
Use Cases:
  • Collecting multiple files from different folders to paste into a single application
  • Holding text snippets and URLs while researching or writing
  • Transferring files between applications that don't support direct drag-and-drop
Alternatives:
  • Dropzone – Similar functionality with a focus on actions and automation
  • Path Finder – Full-featured file manager with built-in shelf features
