How to use Yoink and ScreenFloat

Published: Oct. 14, 2011, 1:39 p.m.

Eternal Storms Software is sponsoring this week’s screencast with two of its apps: ScreenFloat and Yoink. Both are utility-type apps you might be missing in your current workflow.

Yoink is a drag-stack for files and folders. It sits on your screen edge and waits for files. Once you put them on Yoink you can use them wherever you want – Keynote, Full-Screen Mail, TextEdit, whatever.

ScreenFloat allows you take screenshots that are floating above other windows. Really useful for comparing two different setting windows in one particular app. It doesn’t look like much time spent in the screencast, but it took me over two minutes to accomplish something ScreenFloat can help with to do in under 20 seconds.
