How are you able to do this with all of Apple's restrictions? I know there's the accessibility API, but since Mojave the user needs to manually grant permission to do control each individual target app, is that what they need to do for Yoink?
Can't speak to Yoink but I built a project a year or two ago that did something similar. I used a stupid simple method - input simulation (using the fantastic enigo library). And if you want context, you can simulate select all + copy, and access via clipboard. Similar if you want to replace, etc.
$20/mo is too much IMHO. Is this providing as much value as a ChatGPT Plus subscription? No. How about $20 one time and let me bring my own API keys? I get that MRR is so so sweet. But it's not necessary for so many things.
Hey everyone, founder of Yoink here. Thanks for checking out the post! I'm really excited to hear what you think, and I'm genuinely open to all feedback the good, the bad, and the ugly.
We're really early, and all feedback is always deeply appreciated as many of you would know!

The goal of this project was to just be able to pipe / run arbitrary commands from any text context. But, that lined up well with LLMs usage.

Very clean website, i love it.
Just as a first initial thought, when I think of Yoink for Mac, I think of this popular tool: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/yoink-better-drag-and-drop/id4...
At first I thought Yoink was making a new AI tool, not that this was a brand new thing.
