About Yoink - Improved Drag and DropStorefront description supplied by Apple.

Yoink for iPad and iPhone lets you easily and quickly store items you drag, copy, share or download for later use.

This way, you can collect items in a central place without having to constantly move back and forth between your source- and destination applications.

The app accepts virtually any file type, for example app-content like images from websites, text snippets, web urls, eMails and documents - no matter if you drag, copy, share or download them.

Here's what users say about Yoink:

"The best shelf app on iOS" - Igloouk, UK App Store

"Most useful app in the iOS store. What a gem." - noway170, Austrian App Store

"A godsend. Get this. Now." - mr chairboy, US App Store

As a Slide-Over or Side-by-Side app on iPad, Yoink is always ready for you to drag something to it, no matter what app you're in. Just slide Yoink into view and conclude your drag operation.

On iPhone, use Yoink's Share extension, or copy-paste items into Yoink.

Items are stored in Yoink for later use, featuring rich previews for easy identification and full previews for most file types.

Drags containing multiple items are combined into a Stack.

Yoink comes with deep system integration:

- Clipboard Monitor:

Yoink's clipboard monitor saves everything you copy or cut, even when Yoink itself is in the background.

Use the Picture-in-Picture overlay to select what type of data Yoink should save, as well as to pause or stop it at any time.

Among others, Yoink can show pictures, PDFs, eMails and even websites in the Picture-in-Picture overlay, and lets you scroll through pages of documents right there.
