11/27/2023 0 Comments Yoink vs copied ap![]() I have tried it on cell and multiple WiFi networks, and Paste is way faster! I do realize this is a limited sample size, but wow. To my surprise…the Paste app transfers images/PDFs and text nearly instantaneously. I am also a SetApp subscriber, so why not. To my pleasant surprise, because of this forum post I remembered that I did like the Paste shelf look. These were the apps that I had already paid for and I thought since they all synced just as slow, it was an iCloud issue. Unfortunately, Copied, Yoink, and even the native Files App synced too slowly to do this on the fly. This could give me a bit of space so that I don’t have to use slide over on the whiteboard ipad. What if I used a shelf app to “transfer” the images, PDFs, etc from my “notes” ipad to my “whiteboard” iPad? I thought, wow. So I am constantly swiping in and away the slide-over so that I have plenty of space to write and manipulate.Ī couple of weeks ago, when I was trying out some outliner software and couldn’t fit it well in the slide-over view, I had an idea: Unfortunately, even though I have the 12.9 inch ipad, there is not much room left over wether I use split view or slide-over to view my notes, etc. Ever since iPadOS and the multiple slide-over apps feature, I have been able to have my notes and resources (images, etc) in two separate slide-overs, and I click a DEVONthink link in my notes to bring me to a specific image that I can then drag-and-drop in. I have traditionally used slide-over on the “whiteboard” ipad to look at notes and resources, particularly since I can drag-and-drop images onto the whiteboard to present to students. I have a weird use case that may be an interesting point for this discussion - I use two iPads when I teach: one for a digital white board projected for students, and another for notes, resources, etc. If you have any feedback or questions, please do not hesitate to write me – I’m looking forward to hearing from you.I have already commented above, but let me add to the comments about Paste - bear with me here. Yoink is also available for iPad and iPhoneįor members of the press or anyone else who is interested, here’s a press kit. Setapp (subscription service with over 200 Mac apps) Mac Productivity Bundle (Mac App Store, 25% off Yoink, Transloader and ScreenFloat) Mac App Store ($7.99, one-time purchase, no in-app purchases, update free for existing customers, as it’s been the case since v1.0) Where can I get Yoink?įree Demo (direct download, ~28 MB, 30 days, notarized by Apple) It’s localized in English, German, French, Italian, Simplified Chinese, Japanese, Korean and Portuguese. Yoink runs natively on Apple Silicon and Intel Macs, and requires macOS Sierra 10.12 or newer. – It also fixes a couple of bugs and improves compatibility with, among other apps, DEVONthink, where items dragged from DEVONthink to Yoink and then out of Yoink are no longer moved, but copied, to ensure the integrity of DEVONthink’s files database. In that vain, Yoink also transparently provides PNG and JPEG data when dragging out images of the types HEIC, HEIF or TIFF to broaden compatibility with other apps. – Instead of a TIFF file, a PNG file is created when pasting image data into Yoink. – It raises the minimum system requirements from macOS 10.10 Yosemite to macOS 10.12 Sierra. If you’d like to learn more about some of the implementation details behind this new widget, here’s a blog post for you. Pin, unpin, delete, send to Yoink, copy, or clear out the entire history. The history browser gives you a simple way to organize your copied items. That’s why Yoink’s widget had been defunct for so long – I didn’t have the skills to replace it.īut enough chit-chat, here’s the nitty-gritty! ![]() xib-interface file) and brought over the new SwiftUI-style widgets from iOS. With macOS Big Sur, Apple got rid of its old-style Today Widgets (which could be written in Objective-C and a nice. Things are clearly moving away from Objective-C and towards Swift, so at the beginning of this year (2022), I made a point of learning the basics of Swift as quickly as possible to have the option of using everything Apple’s platforms and APIs have to offer. Up until earlier this year, I had virtually no experience with Swift, let alone SwiftUI, and I was pretty happy to continue with my Objective-anCient ways.īut I realized it held me back. Let’s talk about the most important thing first – the resurrected clipboard history and its widget. Yoink automatically appears at the edge of your screen when you start a drag a file, allowing you to place it there.
