What Yoink does
Keep files, links and copied items on a temporary shelf for later drag-and-drop or sharing.
Documented features
The official listing documents the capabilities below. Compare the functions you need with the available platform and paid-feature information before installing. These are the developer’s descriptions, not independent performance or security test results.
“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.”
“Any item in Yoink can be found via Spotlight - and the search-results are draggable.”
“Access Yoink's items and save the contents from your clipboard in Yoink from Notification Center”
“Yoink for iPad and iPhone lets you easily and quickly store items you drag, copy, share or download for later use.”
Installing and opening Yoink
Open the Apple App Store link, confirm the product and seller (Matthias Gansrigler-Hrad), and use Get or the displayed purchase button. The recorded minimum iOS version is 15.0. Check the compatibility section on your device before purchasing: an iPad or Mac screenshot does not establish that every feature works on an iPhone.
For the first run, follow the app’s onboarding and then use the workflow described below. Keep a copy of the original file or record when trying import, conversion or editing functions. If an Android button is present, it links to a Google Play entry found on the developer’s website and checked against the product name; platform editions may differ.
Using the documented workflow
Start with the operation that matches your task. The following actions are documented in the official listing; they are separate usage options, not a sequence that every user must complete. For controls not named here, consult https://eternalstorms.at/yoink/ios rather than assuming a particular button or menu exists.
“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.”
“Yoink's clipboard monitor saves everything you copy or cut, even when Yoink itself is in the background.”
Platforms, version and interface languages
Verified store editions: iOS. The captured version is 2.5.6, with an update date of 2026-08-31. Version numbers and release timing can differ between stores. Check device compatibility in the current store before downloading. An edition for another operating system must be verified separately; a similar name alone is not enough.
The official store lists 8 interface languages. The supported-language tags on this page come from that product metadata; they are separate from the eight languages available for this guide. Check the current store if a particular language is essential to your workflow.
Price and paid features
At collection, the US App Store initial download price was $5.99. This is the initial store price, not a guarantee that all features are included. The initial download is a purchase. Optional upgrades or connected services, if offered, may have separate charges.
Permissions, privacy and practical limits
Before allowing access to photos, files, the microphone, contacts, location or notifications, check whether that access is needed for the function you intend to use. The App Store privacy section describes the developer’s disclosures; the presence of an App Store listing is not a guarantee that information stays on the device. Review the developer’s privacy policy before importing sensitive material.
For account or synchronization problems, use the developer’s support channel. Back up important content before signing out or reinstalling; deleting the app is not a substitute for canceling an App Store subscription.
Questions about Yoink
Where is the official download? Use the Apple App Store button for the exact listing referenced in this guide: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/yoink-improved-drag-and-drop/id1260915283?uo=4. For other verified platforms, use their separate store buttons. This page does not distribute installation packages or modified copies.
Where should I look if a feature has changed? Compare the current store version with 2.5.6, then check https://eternalstorms.at/yoink/ios. The store screenshots show the supplied product imagery, but later releases and device layouts may differ. Use the official support channel for account, billing and product-specific issues.
