Hey Product Hunt! 👋 I built Hyoi to solve a simple but annoying problem: moving files between apps on macOS. I often found myself dragging a file, realizing I needed to open another app first, then having to start over. I wanted a "temporary pocket" that appears exactly when I need it. The name "Hyoi" (ひょい) is a Japanese onomatopoeia for effortlessly picking something up - which is exactly what this app lets you do. Technical notes: - Built with Swift & SwiftUI - Uses Input Monitoring to detect file drags (not text selection) - No network access - everything stays local
