Every productivity guru tells you to use a calendar app. But here's the problem: calendars show when things happen, not what you need to do about them. You schedule a client meeting, then scramble through three different apps to find the project notes, contract files, and action items.
TaskLoco flips this backwards. Start with sticky notes for your actual work, then see everything in calendar view when you need the timeline. One workspace, zero app-switching, all your context in one place.
TaskLoco Premium is regularly $9.99/month per person. Right now, charter members can lock in 50% off the regular price — forever. That means $4.99/month per person today. And if our price ever goes up, you still pay half. Always.
Code CHARTER50 auto-applies at checkout. First 500 spots only — once they're gone, this offer is gone permanently. Act fast while spots last.
Every Premium subscription includes unlimited notes, 10GB file storage, reminders, calendar, and team sharing. Each team member requires a separate subscription. 7-day free trial — no charge until day 8. Cancel anytime.

Why Traditional Calendar Apps Fall Short
Google Calendar, Outlook Calendar, and Apple Calendar excel at one thing: showing you when stuff happens. They're digital appointment books with notification bells. But the moment you need to do something about that calendar event, you're back to hunting through emails, notes apps, and file folders.
Say you have a client presentation on Thursday. Your calendar shows the time slot, maybe a Zoom link. But where are the presentation files? The client's feedback from last week? The action items from the kickoff meeting? Scattered across Google Drive, Slack, email, and whatever notes app you tried last month.
TaskLoco puts everything in sticky notes first. Each note can hold tasks, files, reminders, and context. Then view the same information in calendar mode when you need the timeline. Your Thursday presentation note contains the PowerPoint file, client feedback, prep checklist, and reminder — all in one place, viewable as a calendar event or a sticky note.
TaskLoco's Calendar Integration
TaskLoco Premium includes a full calendar view that displays your notes, tasks, and reminders on a timeline. But unlike standalone calendar apps, every calendar item is backed by a rich sticky note containing all the context and files you actually need.
Create a note for your team meeting. Add the agenda as a file attachment, list action items as tasks, set a reminder for 30 minutes before. That note appears in calendar view at the scheduled time, but you can also see it on your wall with all the other project notes. Click into it from either view to access everything instantly.
Team members can share notes and see shared calendar events. When someone updates the meeting agenda file or adds a new action item, everyone sees the changes in real-time. No separate calendar invites, no hunting for the latest version of documents.
File Attachments Beat Calendar Links
Google Calendar lets you add a Google Drive link to events. Outlook Calendar connects to OneDrive files. Apple Calendar... well, it shows you when things are scheduled and that's about it. But links break, files move, and permissions change.
TaskLoco notes include 10GB of direct file storage with Premium. Drag a PowerPoint, PDF, or image directly into a note. No links to break, no permissions to manage, no wondering which version is current. The file lives inside the note, accessible from calendar view or wall view.
Your client presentation note contains the actual PowerPoint file, not a link that might work if you're online, logged into the right account, and the file hasn't moved. Open the note from calendar view and the file is right there, ready to present.
Reminders That Actually Include Context
Calendar app reminders are glorified alarm clocks. "Client meeting in 15 minutes." Great. What client? Which project? What are we discussing? You get a notification with zero context and scramble to remember what this meeting is about.
TaskLoco reminders open the full note. The reminder pops up, you tap it, and immediately see the client background, meeting agenda, action items from last time, and all relevant files. No frantic searching through other apps to remember what this meeting is about.
Set multiple reminders per note. One reminder a day before to review materials, another 30 minutes before to grab coffee and review talking points. Each reminder opens the same note with all your context and preparation materials instantly available.
