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 almost anything you can drag on your iPad, for example app-content like images from websites, text snippets, web urls, eMails and documents.
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:
- Action 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.
- Files Integration
Access Yoink's files from any app that supports iOS 11's document browser

One feature/request/want?
April and David
I very much enjoy Yoink. The one feature I would like to see (I’ll admit I may be missing the point and need a different clipboard manager) is the ability to folder or tag items. It would be most handy when using the Yoink keyboard to be able to switch to a specific tag or folder and grab what is needed. At this point, I have over 60 items in Yoink and have to scroll around to find what I am looking for. I know where most of them are at this point but I know as it grows just a little more, it is going to become unwieldy. I write a ton on iPad and iPhone versus computer or even paper so I’ve come to use Yoink quite a bit. I don’t use my MacBook much at all anymore but I’ve purchased both the Mac and iOS versions and this is one of those apps that even after buying, I’d be happy to gave an in-app purchase for ‘tips’ that I would use once in a while as more versions/improvements/enhancements/functionality is introduced. I definitely support, supporting developers.
Highly recommend this One ☝️

This app is for anyone that one to get a handle on work flow and sharing pieces of information on your iOS device. For the Type “A” wanna get stuff done ✅ quickly this is a must have app in the tool chest. ?????
Changing my rating after losing all bookmarks.

I bought this because I was super excited that yoink synced on iCloud between various iOS devices. However, when I send a clip to yoink, I don’t want to have to remember whether its on my iPhone or ipad, but rather to have one repository. It seemed a workaround is to use Yoink on one device and then open it in handoff on the other so that it can copy changes from one to another. But even that workaround (when it works) is super kludgy because you’d have to do it for each and every change. In the middle of one of those “syncs” yoink lost the data for BOTH of my devices. This will be a must have app for me provided it can universally sync all changes to any synced iOS devices. Please let me know when that is the case!
Great app

Nice clean intuitive design. Use it frequently, especially on pad wishlist - Would be nice to have a tag or folder option or to be able to sort list order
Use it daily

I use the app as an inbox for digital items. This gives me a chance to review things before moving them to a task list or watch list. Great app that gets used daily. Had an issue where all my items were removed by the developer reached out and helped resolve the issue within a day. Great support.
Awesome

I just love it. This is my go to app is for capturing content from the web, For my iPad Pro. You will not be disappointed with purchasing app. That being said. I would like to suggest that they add features with ability to create sub-folder. To the app developers’Great Job’. Ken
Frustrating!

This app has removed all my stacks and a bunch of links since the last update. Drag and drop on iPad is frustrating as it keeps trying to open a small Safari window as I’m trying to drag. There should be an easier way to add items to stacks besides dragging it around all over, looking for the appropriate place. Using “edit” you should be able to select items then add them to a stack. I want to like this app, but it’s ruining, not helping, my workflow!
Files won’t drag and drop
Mare.jp
When I drag and drop pictures from Yoink to PPT file, sometimes file disappears instead of being dropped. Also, files just won’t drag from Yoink window to another (presentation) file.
Great app, newest version fixed bugs

Value for Money

Very useful utility and its pretty inexpensive as well. Moreover, the support is awesome whenever you require it. The sync from the iPhone to the iPad is instantaneous and seamless.
