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

기대했던 기능을 못하네요

nncool2 on

South Korea

맥용 앱으로 나름 알려져있는걸로 알고 있어서 맥용과 iOS용 함께 구입했는데 큰 실망입니다. 가장 큰 문제가 동기화가 자연스럽게 이루어지는게 아니라 핸드오프를 통해 수동으로 해줘야 합니다. 또는 기기목록을 통해서 각 기기별로 목록을 볼 수있는데 이러면 동기화의 의미가 없지않나싶네요. 거기다 동기화를 해도 다른 기기에서 넘어온 데이터를 못읽는 경우가 태반이라 아직은 시기상조인것 같습니다. 그럭저럭 사용할만한 수준이 아니라 기본도 아직 안되는 느낌입니다. 단일 기기에서 셸프앱으로 쓸 용도로는 그럭저럭 쓰겠지만 찾아보면 무료앱이나 애플의 파일앱을 쓸수도 있구요. 무료로 체험하고 인앱결제로 활성화 하도록 했어야 한다고 봅니다. 할인을 한다해도 아직은 구매를 추천하지 않습니다. 앞으로 업데이트를 통해 빨리 개선되길 바랍니다.

쓰임새가 애매하다

그럴듯한 계획을 가지고 구매했으나 딱히 쓸모가 없는 상황 다른분들의 활용도가 궁금하군요.

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?

burnsac100 on

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

“Loading Failed” message

Sherap6 on

“Loading Failed” This is the message I get sometimes when I try to copy & paste items/photos from other applications. Please Fix Bugs Regularly (Great Hope) Note: I regularly update my review/rating for this application. My Device: iPhone 14 Pro Max (latest iOS), iPad Pro 12.9” (iPadOS 17.2 or later, 2018 third-generation).

Valuable Partner

10DEC23: a reliable document shuttle across three iOS devices. So handy for PDF DwnLoads from browsers. Documents stick or delete based on preference. Reading and markup within the app is useful Thank you ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 10/9/21: a veritable information magnet which permits storage and distribution in apps and across iOS devices. An important and valuable partner in research. Like more each day —- 9/18//20 Lost usefulness for more than a month, BUT this iteration fixed a MAJOR bug seen on iPad and Evernote: a PDF drag to the App produced an empty placeholder icon on Evernote. Yoink is back in the game; now I can keep it running to receive and sent to Evernote, OneDrive, iCloud Notes, OneNote, email client, and Word documents. My workflow has returned! Thank you ——————————————————— ... and you can pour a little here and there. I am 100% iPhone, no Mac. This app works seamlessly with the following apps, which constitute my primary workflow, Evernote, Drop Box, and Spark email client. I moved Yoink to the top/front of the helper apps, so it is always up front. I do like it when Yoink asks you if you want to add a clipboard snippet. At this point, I see nothing to dislike about this app. ===older review=== Looking for tighter integration in iOS but, works quite well. A welcome and necessary addition to my workflow.

Better files app integration

Pani Poni on

United States

Please let us add folders in the files app. For some reason I can’t paste the Yoink folders I backed up from iCloud to the folder (before all of that the app gave me an error and wouldn’t sync, so I backed up the folder).

Excellent!

A solid app that reliably captures clipboard contents.

Lacks Crucial Features

MultipleMason on

United States

First it needs a way to delete items from the keyboard interface. Trust shouldn't be too difficult. Seems the other clip keyboard I tried could all do that. Here it is crucial because it could facilitate working around the lack of sequential paste/insert, without having to (as is currently the case) fall back to app switching, mitigating the benefits off the great clipboard listener. Honestly, sequential paste is a crucial feature of any sort of clip board manager. The oversight here is so messed up, and then further compounded by the lack of a delete function within the keyboard, and no option to auto-delete after pasting/inserting items. An option *Auto Delete Items After Insertion * would facilitate an improvised sequential paste. A function to delete items from the keyboard interface would also facilitate improvised sequential paste, just with as little more input, and it should be there regardless! I would give it one star if the bar on iPhone wasn't so shocking low... I've tried a number of apps now and looked into the details of I think all the apps that might do clipboard management, clip keyboard, copy n and paste utilities. Far as I can tell, Yoink is best in class, even with it's absurd shortcomings and oversights. Thus 3 stars instead of 1. I have hope that these shortcomings will be addressed soon, so I can update my review and rating to 5 stars. It's honestly tragic that iPhone, with considerable more processing power than PCs 20 years ago, can't to basic clipboard management like ordered copy/paste despite 100+ different applications that should do so, like clipboard history, clipboard++, 🤣 there where clipboard managers that could do ordered copy/paste. MacOS, Windows, Linux, and even Android all have apps that can do ordered copy/paste, and sadly the fact that iPhone doesn't/can't isn't all that surprising 😵‍💫.

Unintuitive, and lacks basic features

opalescent_sky on

Whatever this app does, it doesn’t do it very well. First of all, the search feature within the app usually doesn’t work, so it’s difficult to find what you’re looking for, and to organize things into stacks. A lot of the time, probably most of the time, it doesn’t pick up words that I search. Secondly, this app messes up my phone’s keyboard. Yoink’s keyboard add-on is terrible. It has no search feature, so it’s useless because there’s no way I can find a link that I need if I am unable to search for it. Anybody who has accumulated more than a few links will quickly notice this issue when they cannot search for any of their links through the keyboard add-on. The only thing they can do is scroll through everything manually to try to find a specific link, which is usually impossible if you have accumulated many links. Not only is the keyboard add-on useless due to the absence of a search feature, but it gets in the way too. I keep accidentally selecting it when I’m typing on my phone, and I have to keep exiting it so I can continue typing a text message normally. I have had Yoink for years and waited that hopefully there would be an update to fix these issues, but this hasn’t been the case. It’s still the same clunky app, which lacks basic features. I’ve lost hope that this app can ever become useful, so I think I’m just going to delete it and give up.
