I’ve increased the trial times for Yoink for Mac and ScreenFloat for Mac from 15 days to 31 days.
These also apply if you’ve already used the demo version before.

Since I’m having trouble with the macOS Catalina-compatible ScreenFloat v1.5.17 update getting through review, I thought it’d be best to publish a quick note about how to make sure ScreenFloat works for you on macOS Catalina. Otherwise, you’ll probably end up with screenshots of your Desktop, instead of the actual windows you’re trying to take a screenshot of.
tccutil reset All at.EternalStorms.ScreenFloat-appstore
This resets all of ScreenFloat’s permissions on your Mac (the only one it uses is the Screen Recording one). If you’re using the demo, replace ‘-appstore’ with ‘-demo’.
At this point, a restart of your Mac might be necessary.
Now ScreenFloat will be able to create screenshots again.
For a short video on how to grant ScreenFloat screen recording permissions, please visit the new home of this blog. Thank you.
My apologies for the inconvenience. I’m hoping to have the update for it out soon, but currently, I’m at the App Store App Review’s mercy.
This is a maintenance update, recommended for all users of the app, improving overall stability, performance and providing bug fixes.
Here’s a complete rundown of what’s changed:
Improvements in Yoink v3.5.5:
– Text items can now be copied in plain text by holding down the shift key in the Clipboard History Today Widget and Yoink’s contextual menu
– Improves handling of volumes being mounted and unmounted
– Improves reliability of the Share extension
– Yoink now respects the order in which you selected files in Yoink when dragging out
– The “Move to…” dialog always originates in the selected file’s folder, making it easier and more straight-forward to rename a right-clicked file
– Yoink no longer tries to mount network volumes
– Improves handling of URLs / links
– Improves compatibility with CleanMyMac 3
– Improves compatibility with macOS Mojave’s Photos.app
– Improves compatibility with Curio
– Reduces the app’s file size
Bug fixes in Yoink v3.5.5:
– Fixes a bug where the contextual menu’s “Move to…” or “Copy to…” wouldn’t work
– Fixes a bug that occurred when sharing files to Yoink (when sharing files to Yoink one after another, if they had the same file name, the previously shared file would be overwritten)
– Fixes a bug that caused Yoink’s menu bar icon on macOS High Sierra and earlier not to be drawn correctly when clicked on
– Fixes a rare crash when setting up Yoink’s table
– Fixes a crash when displaying the “File moved to trash” popover
– Fixes a crash in the share extension
– Fixes a potential crash when using Handoff
– Fixes an issue that caused Yoink to consume a lot of CPU
– Fixes an issue where tooltips were displayed when they shouldn’t appear
On this website, I collect useful tips to get the most out of Yoink for Mac – I’ve added a couple of new tips to it! Tips are also available for the iOS version of the app here.
New on the Mac App Store are bundles.
Yoink is part of the “Eternal Storms Software Productivity Bundle”, where you get Yoink, ScreenFloat and Transloader at about 25% off!
You can check it out here (bundles require macOS Mojave 10.14 – though apps purchased in a bundle on macOS Mojave are available on earlier versions of macOS for free re-download).
Yoink offers a temporary place for file- and app-content drags to free your mouse so you can more easily and quickly navigate to the actual destination of your drag.
This is especially helpful when it comes to moving and copying files between different windows, spaces or (fullscreen-) apps.
Yoink stays in the background most of the time, waiting for you to drag something. The app fades in at the edge of your screen when you start a drag, like a file in Finder, or app-content like an image from a website, or text from a document.
Drag your files to Yoink, and your mouse is free for you to navigate more easily and comfortably. Yoink will hold on to the files you drag to it until you drag them out again.
The app can be customized in a number of ways.
You can set up where it should appear (at either side of your screen, top, center or bottom; or at the mouse cursor), when it should appear (when a drag starts, or when a drag reaches the edge of your screen) and what apps it should (or should not) appear in.
If a file drag contains multiple files, a Stack is created so you can drag them out together again easily. Stacks can also be split up if you’d like to drag out one specific file in that drag.
Quick Look is available for all files you add to Yoink, as icon previews for quick identification and as full previews for a detailed look.
A keyboard shortcut lets you hide Yoink if you currently don’t need it, and show it again when you do.
Yoink for Mac is available on the Mac App Store for the price of $7.99 / £7.99 / €8,99, with a free, 15-day trial available on its website.
You can purchase Yoink as part of the “Eternal Storms Software Productivity Bundle”, together with ScreenFloat and Transloader at ~25% off on the Mac App Store (requires macOS Mojave 10.14 – though apps purchased with a bundle on macOS Mojave are available on earlier versions of macOS for free re-download).
Yoink is also available through Setapp – “The frontier platform that packs 150+ Mac apps into just one. A personally curated membership for $9.99/mo.”
Yoink for Mac requires at least macOS Lion 10.10, macOS High Sierra 10.14 or newer is recommended.
The app is localized in English, German, French, Italian, Chinese (Simplified), Korean, Japanese, Portuguese (Portugal) and Portuguese (Brazil).
Yoink is also available for iPad and iPhone, exclusively available on the App Store for the price of $5.99 / £5.99 / €6,99.
