Yoink - Improved Drag and Drop

Your Files and Snippet Shelf

Published by: Matthias Gansrigler

Description

Yoink for iPad and iPhone lets you easily and quickly store items you drag, copy, share or download for later use.
This way, you can collect items in a central place without having to constantly move back and forth between your source- and destination applications.
The app accepts virtually any file type, for example app-content like images from websites, text snippets, web urls, eMails and documents - no matter if you drag, copy, share or download them.
Here's what users say about Yoink:
"The best shelf app on iOS" - Igloouk, UK App Store
"Most useful app in the iOS store. What a gem." - noway170, Austrian App Store
"A godsend. Get this. Now." - mr chairboy, US App Store
As a Slide-Over or Side-by-Side app on iPad, Yoink is always ready for you to drag something to it, no matter what app you're in. Just slide Yoink into view and conclude your drag operation.
On iPhone, use Yoink's Share extension, or copy-paste items into Yoink.
Items are stored in Yoink for later use, featuring rich previews for easy identification and full previews for most file types.
Drags containing multiple items are combined into a Stack.
Yoink comes with deep system integration:
- Clipboard Monitor:
Yoink's clipboard monitor saves everything you copy or cut, even when Yoink itself is in the background.
Use the Picture-in-Picture overlay to select what type of data Yoink should save, as well as to pause or stop it at any time.
- Picture-in-Picture for more than just videos:
Among others, Yoink can show pictures, PDFs, eMails and even websites in the Picture-in-Picture overlay, and lets you scroll through pages of documents right there.
- iCloud Sync
Synchronize Yoink's items across your devices using iCloud
- Handoff
Transfer files between iPhones, iPads and Macs (separate Mac Yoink app required) using Handoff
- Action/Share Extension
Almost any item you can share via the system-wide Share sheet, you can send directly to Yoink from there
- Keyboard
Yoink has its own keyboard so that inserting items you've stored in Yoink is easy and quick, without having to launch Yoink.
- Spotlight Integration
Any item in Yoink can be found via Spotlight - and the search-results are draggable.
- Today Widget
Access Yoink's items and save the contents from your clipboard in Yoink from Notification Center
- Shortcuts / Siri Suggestions
Yoink offers you Siri Shortcuts and Suggestions so you can automate processes, like adding items from the clipboard to Yoink, or copying items from Yoink, as well as starting downloads in Yoink.
- Files Integration
Access Yoink's files from any app that supports iOS 11's document browser
Here's what the press says about Yoink:

Yoink Reviews

Best app

skmization on

India

Hope they add direct merging to stack option instead or doing that manually when saving for first time so it’ll save lot of time .

Helps a lot while making flash cards from anki

Works like charm

SK FAUZDAR on

India

But app icon needs an update. It’s childish :)

Updated: Understated, Oversimplified, Perfect.

IOTGuy on

The new release with sync and handoff support is what was missing from version 1. This is now my default shelf app on the iPad and default collector app on my iPhone.

RESERVOIR OF ARTICLES

AI Oncologist Balaji on

India

Yoink helps in saving my favourite articles in pdf format.whenever files have been saved I get a prompt notification.believe me the saving part is one the fastest I’ve ever experienced.

Lacks Syncing Capability

Atlastu on

India

Not worth the purchase as it doesn’t have syncing ability. What’s the point of storing all the types of data, if you cannot access it on your other devices through sync?

Mac Sync

PolyStoly on

United States

I really want to like it. Always go back and forth with it. No iCloud Mac sync is just deal breaker. It would be nice when you working on a project and sync between Mac and iOS. Otherwise I can use iCloud folder to hold files. Yes it’s not as convenient but more useful. Or I can just use AnyBox to store files across all devices. It’s kinda confusing business model not fully holding place (no sync) and not fully clipboard because totally different on the Mac.

Thanks for the update

Sherap6 on

United States

Thanks for the update. This is a beautiful application. Keep improving and updating. Note: I regularly update my review/rating for this application. My Device: iPhone 14 Pro Max (latest iOS), iPad Pro 12.9” (latest iPadOS, 2018 third-generation).

Link deletion bug

DAGAMERX29 on

United States

This app is tremendous. It’s like having a desktop on your iPhone and iPad, but please fix the bug where it deletes links. It’s quite annoying for me to paste the link in notes just to make sure that I have the link saved. This is like a problem for years now. i’m really getting sick of it.

Would it be possible to add tags/folders?

It would be nice to categorized the saved items even further if at all possible. Please and thank you
