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.
