Yoink

Give a boost to a key iOS feature

- Jr Bookwalter

i Pad users around the world rejoiced when Apple announced drag and drop in iOS 11, but as with any new feature, there’s always room for improvement. Sure, we can finally copy items between different apps, but why not go a step further by adding the option to temporarily save items you’ll want to use again? That would be really handy.

Thankfully, that’s the premise of Yoink, a virtual storage shelf that enhances iOS 11’s drag-and-drop functionality. It’s not a clipboard manager in the traditional sense – apps like Copied are still best suited to that particular task – but you can drag images, text clippings, web addresses, and other files into the app, and then preview, rename, or organise them into stacks, which are the equivalent of folders on the desktop.
