Yoink Mac 3.7.6 Overview

Yoink is a drag-and-drop utility for macOS developed by Matthias Gansrigler, the solo indie developer behind Eternal Storms Software in Vienna, Austria. Yoink requires macOS 10.13 High Sierra or later, is sold as a one-time lifetime purchase with a free 28-day trial, and is available directly from the developer's website, the Mac App Store, and Setapp. Version 3.7.6, released August 3, 2026, improves compatibility with the Dia and Vivaldi browsers and fixes a number of bugs discovered since the prior release. What Yoink does is drastically simplify drag-and-drop on the Mac by giving users a temporary "shelf" to place items in mid-drag. Whether collecting images from a website, text snippets from a document, or moving files around in Finder, a user can drag an item onto Yoink's shelf, freeing their hand to navigate to the item's actual destination before completing the drop — Yoink can hold virtually anything that can be dragged. Beyond the core shelf, the app includes a clipboard history accessible via widgets or the shelf itself, and is highly customizable, including flexible rules for exactly when and where the shelf appears (on every drag, only near screen edges, or at the cursor) to fit different working styles.

Key Features

Drag-and-Drop Shelf Provides a temporary holding area for anything being dragged — images, text snippets, files, and more — letting a user's hand move freely to the actual destination before completing the drop. Flexible Appearance Rules Configures exactly when and where the Yoink shelf appears: on every drag, only near screen edges, or directly at the cursor, adapting to different workflow preferences. Clipboard History Includes a built-in clipboard history, accessible either through widgets or directly from the shelf itself, for retrieving recently copied items. Browser Compatibility (Improved in 3.7.6) Version 3.7.6 specifically improves compatibility with the Dia and Vivaldi browsers, alongside a number of other bug fixes. Improved Quick Look & File Renaming (from 3.7.2) Earlier updates in the 3.7.x line improved Yoink's Quick Look functionality and file renaming behavior directly from the shelf. Force Touch & Multi-Space Reliability The app has been refined over time to improve Force Touch handling and to fix issues with the shelf not appearing correctly across different Spaces. In-App Release Notes & Voluntary Tipping Displays release notes directly within the app after updates, and includes a completely voluntary in-app tipping option for users who want to support ongoing development. One-Time Lifetime Purchase Sold as a one-time purchase rather than a subscription; updates are free for existing customers regardless of which storefront the app was originally purchased from.

How to Use Yoink Mac 3.7.6

Launch Yoink; it will run quietly in the background, ready to appear whenever a drag begins. Start dragging a file, image, or text snippet, and drop it onto the Yoink shelf instead of directly to its destination. Navigate to wherever the item actually needs to go — another app, folder, or window — with your hand free in between. Drag the item off the shelf to its final destination to complete the move. Adjust Yoink's appearance rules in preferences to control whether the shelf shows on every drag, near screen edges, or at the cursor. Use the built-in clipboard history via the shelf or widgets to retrieve recently copied items. Check in-app release notes after updates to see what's changed, and consider leaving a voluntary tip if you find the app useful.
