Trickle a reading list into your Inbox
A drip holds notes, links and files and releases them into your Inbox a few at a time, on a schedule you choose, instead of all at once.
A drip turns a pile of things to read into a steady trickle. You add notes, links or files to a named drip, such as "Weekend reading", pick when it runs, and each time it releases the next item into your Inbox.
Turn Drip on#
Drip is off on a new install. Turn on Enable Drip in Settings > Optional Features. A Drip row then appears in the sidebar.
Make a drip#
Click Drip in the sidebar, then New Drip.
Give it a Name.
Under Cadence, pick a suggestion or type when it runs, for example
every weekday at 9am. Next runs shows the next few times.Click Create drip.
Open the drip and add items: paste text or a link into the box and press Command plus Enter⌘EnterCtrl plus EnterCtrlEnter, click Attach files, or drop files onto it.
Each time the drip runs, it releases the next item. When every item has been released, a last card says the drip is finished, and the drip moves to Archived.
To get the same item again and again, such as a note you want every morning, turn on Repeat forever in the drip's cadence. It never runs out.
Read what arrives#
Released items appear in your Inbox. A link shows a preview card, a note shows its text, and a file shows its name and size. Archive an item when you are done with it.
Archiving does not delete. Open the drip and pick Archived to see archived items; Restore puts one back in your Inbox.
Pause or stop drips#
Open a drip and click Pause to hold it; Resume carries on where it left off, with nothing lost. To hold every drip at once, turn on Pause all drips.
Folders. Under Folder sources, add a folder to have a drip pick up new files from it by itself. Tick One-time import (copy files now, don't watch the folder) to add only what is there now.
Many at once. Paste a list into Bulk add and click Add as items to make each entry its own item.
Your own copy. Yardmaster keeps its own copy of each file you add, so moving or deleting the original does not break the drip.
Turning it off stops it. Turning off Enable Drip hides the row, stops folder watching and stops every drip from releasing. Turn it back on and each drip that was due releases its next batch once, then carries on at its usual pace. To stop releases but keep the row, use Pause all drips.
