Yoink helps making drag and drop between spaces or fullscreen apps in OS X Lion easier.

When you start dragging a file that exists on your hard disk or content from an application, Yoink fades in a tiny window on the left edge of your screen so you can drag to it.

This frees up your mouse so you can comfortably navigate to the destination of the drop and resume the drag from Yoink's window.
