 If you are a Mac user and also like to stay organized on your Mac, then this video is for you. Hello and welcome to Take One Tech. My name's Alec and this is one of a series of videos I'm doing this week, all about some great little utilities and menu bar apps and Mac apps that you can get as part of the SetApp bundle. But I'll talk about the SetApp bundle at the end of the video. But for now, we'll get straight on into this app because it's a great little app called Yoink. And basically it is something that you can use for helping you with your file management. And it does one thing, but it does it very well. It's probably easiest if I just demonstrate it to you. So here I am on my desktop and I tend to use my desktop much like the top of my actual desk, which is when I'm working during the day, I tend to throw a load of things onto it. And then at the end of the day, I clear it all away and file everything where it should go nice and organized. So when I do have things on my desktop or when I'm working in the finder even and I maybe have different folders and things like that open and I want to sort of shuttle things between different folders or maybe I've got a project where I've got a load of different files from all different kinds of applications and they're all there on the desktop and then I want to clear them all away and get them packed into those folders. Well, Yoink is basically think of it a little bit like a shelf where you can store all of your folders to then get them all over into the finder. So here I am on the desktop and what you'll notice on the left hand side, as soon as I pick up this file and start to drag it, there's this little window appears and this is the Yoink interface and I can just drop that on there and there we've got a file. And by the way, Yoink is an application that sits in your menu bar, I can also do things like I can just simply copy something from the clipboard. So some text that I just copied from the website from Yoink has just been dropped in there. I can preview all of these things. I can preview any images and I can drop as many different files and folders and things like that on this little shelf as I want. But then when I navigate to my finder, say I've got a folder that I want all of these things to be packed away into. So let me just quickly create one for you. I just paused for a moment there because I actually got a folder created. So let's just say that you've got a particular folder and so you've dragged on all of these different things that you want to sort. And then now you can simply drag them from Yoink and put them in the folder and you'll notice that it's disappeared from the desktop but put it into here. So you are actually moving the original file, but it just makes, I mean obviously if I'd only got this folder and that desktop item then probably could have just dragged it straight in, couldn't I? But when you are working and you've got multiple different windows over, consider this a sort of holding area that allows you to flick between different things. Or maybe you've got a finder window open and you're not sure quite where you're going to put it. So you can just put it here for the time being and then you haven't actually copied it. It is just sitting there and then maybe you create another finder window and then you want to just put it in here somewhere. So say I want to move it to my take one tech folder, then I could just drag it into here like this and then it will have just popped down there. So that is just an example of how you can use it to move files and folders around. But you can also use it, say you're doing research or something like that and you want to get images off the internet. Then you can simply just drag them from websites and drag them over onto there as well. Or maybe you want to take a tech snippet and just copy that and then you can just add it to the clipboard in that way there as well. And as I say, just grabbing images and things like that. It's just simply a case of drag and drop and that one is actually a link. So if you're getting links and things like that is a great way to sort of organize your clippings, your things like that just on a temporary basis until you go and actually drag them into wherever you want them to go. In terms of the setup, there really isn't much setup to it. As I say, it is just a menu bar app that sits in the top. The controls that you have over it are, for example, you can, if I just move these all out of the way, you can change a few of the settings. So the window position, the moment I've got it left at the top, but you can also have it left at the center and so on. Left at the bottom, you get the idea or right at the bottom left or center wherever you want it positioned. Now what happens is it actually pops up when you hover. So when I pick up a file or pick up an image or something like that and start to drag it, then it will appear automatically. Or you can press the hot key, which is F5 or obviously map that to a stream deck if you so wish. You can change the size as well. So it defaults to three items, but you can make it much bigger if you want, just depending on how many things you are changing, moving rather. And then a few other things that you can change in there. So if I go into the preferences, then you can see at the moment so it automatically shows when I start dragging, it's got a little graphic there to show you what's happening or you can press this toggle. So there's not much more to change, to be honest, apart from that. Remove items when dragging them out. So you could toggle that off if you want to leave them in here and you can just actually duplicate them to different places. Combine multiple files to a stack. So if you've got multiple images and things like that then you can have them to stack up. And yet just a few other different settings that you've got there. But basically that's how it works. Launch Yoink Login if you want it to be always running. I personally don't have a lot of things that open at login. I have a set routine that I run that opens all the things that I need under any given circumstances just because I've got quite an old Mac. And so I like to only have the things running that I need to have running. But that is basically it. And that's all I really wanted to tell you about today. So that is a very short one. I don't know if this might turn out to be my shortest video yet. If you have liked it, go and give it a like. And if you want to know about any more of these apps that you can get as part of Setup. By the way, I did totally forget to actually tell you about Setup, didn't I? I know you've probably heard about it if you've watched some of my other videos. But in case you've just stumbled across this and this is your first time watching any of my videos. Hello and welcome. But Setup is a monthly subscription service. It's $9.99 a month. But if you use my link by going to takeonetech.io. Setup, then you can get a free trial, which is two weeks. And then if you sign up after the free trial using my link, then you will get a free month. And I will also get a free month too. So that is how their referral link system works. And once you remember, by the way, you can obviously sign up to the referral links too. The referral program too. And then share it with all of your friends and family. Because it really is a great way to get access to over 200 apps for a really affordable single monthly payment. And you obviously get access to all of the upgrades and things like that that come with those apps as well. So I do highly recommend it. Well, that's just bumped the time along a little bit. And now this is no longer my official shortest video. So anyway, thank you for sticking with it, if indeed you have. I will put a link to the playlist with all of the other set apps. Just set up apps at the bottom right. And so I'll see you in one of those until the next time. Have a great day.
