Yoink for iPhone and iPad has been updated to improve clipboard monitoring and more. The new update is available for download right now and is worth grabbing. The popular shelf app, complete with clipboard monitoring capabilities even on iOS, continues to go from strength to strength.

Yoink version 2.4.1 is a maintenance release that actually adds a couple of improvements that are worth calling out. The first is support for Shortcuts, allowing people to start, pause, update, and end the Clipboard Monitor without having to open Yoink at all. Those who don’t want to deal with Shortcuts can also now control the Clipboard Monitor right from the Yoink app’s icon on their Home screen — tap and hold and then select the Monitor Clipboard option to get started.

⚡️ @YoinkApp for #iPad and #iPhone v2.4.1 is now available on the @AppStore.

Other improvements include the ability to display the last-copied item in the Clipboard Monitor’s picture-in-picture display as well as the option to disable Confirm Monitoring for quicker Clipboard Monitor session starts.
