Can't Uninstall Yoink For Mac

Speed up your workflow. By providing a temporary space for your file- and app-content drags, Yoink frees up your mouse to let you navigate more freely and comfortably to the destination of your files.

Yoink accepts any file from Finder, and app-content from almost any app. Whether you want to move or copy files to a different folder or hard drive on your Mac, or wish to collect images from a website and text snippets from documents before you move them to the desired destination, Yoink has got you covered. Designed for Ease of Use. Yoink was designed to be there when you need it, but also not to be there when you don’t need it. While the app remains out of view most of the time, when you start to drag a file or app-content (like an image from a website), Yoink appears at the edge of your screen, allowing you to temporarily store your drags there so your mouse is free to more easily and comfortably navigate to the destination of your files. At the target window, space or (fullscreen-) app, you can drag out the files of Yoink and place them where you want them to go.

Yoink is a utility that I find to be extremely useful. When you begin dragging a file on a Mac with Yoink installed, the utility’s interface appears on the side of the screen. Yoink serves as a temporary holding area for files on your Mac as you move them between apps, folders, and wherever else in the Finder. There are few apps that I consider to be must-haves on OS X, but Yoink is certainly one of them.

Moving files around the Mac is easier with Yoink installed, especially if you make the most of using full screen apps. Watch our video walkthrough inside to see how. After installing Yoink, it’s just a matter of setting up its preferences to get going.

I recommend enabling the option for the app to Launch at login so that it’s always available. There are also preferences for establishing when the Yoink interface will appear on screen.

By default, Yoink is set to appear on the side of the screen whenever you drag a file using your mouse or trackpad. In my opinion, this is the best way to use Yoink. That said, options are available to make Yoink appear manually via a keyboard shortcut. You can also make the Yoink holding area move to your mouse location when a drag is initiated. Video walkthrough Yoink’s preferences can be further configured by clicking on the gear icon at the bottom of its interface. From there, you can establish the location of the holding area window, along with its size. Items are grouped into a stack when dragging more than one file into Yoink. Grouped items removed from Yoink will thus be removed as a group.

If you hover over a stack of grouped files, you’ll see an icon that allows you to break apart all of the items in the stack. Doing so lets you manipulate each item in Yoink as individual files. Yoink disappears after all of the items in its window have been removed. You can opt to use the sweep button in the bottom right-hand corner of its interface to clean out all items in one fell swoop. Just reading this overview might not portray how useful such an app is, so be sure to watch the video walkthrough above for a visual look into its usage. Simply put, Yoink makes it easier to move files around OS X. If interested, head over to the.
