Most note-taking apps today suffer from feature bloat. Notion wants to be your entire workspace. Obsidian demands you learn graph theory. Apple Notes lacks basic reminders. Evernote costs $17.99/month and still can't sync reliably.
TaskLoco takes the opposite approach: sticky notes that actually work. No databases to configure. No complex workflows to learn. Just notes, reminders, and file attachments that sync instantly across all your devices.
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 Simple Notes Beat Complex Systems
Notion charges $10/month per person and requires you to build databases for basic note-taking. Obsidian is free but demands hours learning markdown syntax and graph navigation. Roam Research costs $15/month and treats every note like an academic research project.
TaskLoco skips the complexity. Create a note, set a reminder, attach a file. Done. No templates to design, no databases to structure, no syntax to memorize.
Apple Notes comes close to this simplicity but lacks reminders and has terrible search. Google Keep has reminders but limits you to tiny cards with no real formatting. TaskLoco gives you the best of both: simple sticky notes with powerful features when you need them.
File Attachments That Actually Work
Apple Notes corrupts large files. Notion embeds everything as blocks that break formatting. Obsidian stores files locally with no cloud sync. Most note apps treat file attachments as an afterthought.
TaskLoco includes 10GB of secure cloud storage with every Premium subscription. Drag any file directly into a note. Photos, PDFs, documents, videos — they all sync instantly across devices. Access files even when offline through the mobile apps.
Evernote charges $17.99/month for 10GB storage and still struggles with large files. Notion gives you unlimited storage but buries files in database properties. TaskLoco keeps it simple: attach a file to a note, access it anywhere.
Reminders Without the Complexity
Todoist charges $5/month just for reminders. Notion requires building complex database automations. Apple Reminders works but lives separately from your notes. Most apps either lack reminders entirely or make them impossibly complicated.
TaskLoco includes location-based and time-based reminders with every Premium subscription. Set a reminder directly from any note. Get notified on your phone, computer, and email. No separate apps, no complex setups.
Unlike project management tools that force you into their workflow, TaskLoco lets you add reminders naturally as you write. Turn any note into a reminder in one click.
Team Sharing Without Enterprise Pricing
Notion Team costs $15/month per person. Obsidian Sync runs $8/month per person with limited collaboration. Roam Research charges $15/month per person for basic sharing. Enterprise note apps start at $25/month per person minimum.
TaskLoco Premium includes full team sharing for $9.99/month per person (or $4.99/month per person for charter members). Share notes instantly, see real-time updates, get email notifications when teammates make changes.
No minimum seats, no enterprise contracts, no complex permission systems. Each team member subscribes individually at the same rate whether you have 2 people or 200.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is TaskLoco better than Notion for simple note-taking?
Yes, if you want to focus on writing notes rather than building databases. TaskLoco starts you with a blank note immediately. Notion requires setting up pages, databases, and templates before you can take meaningful notes.
How does TaskLoco compare to Apple Notes?
TaskLoco adds reminders, better file handling, and cross-platform sync that Apple Notes lacks. Apple Notes works well within Apple's ecosystem but has no reminders integration and limited file attachment options.
Can TaskLoco replace Obsidian for personal knowledge management?
Only if you don't need advanced linking and graph views. TaskLoco excels at straightforward note-taking with reminders and files. Obsidian is better for building interconnected knowledge graphs and complex note relationships.
Does TaskLoco work offline like some note apps?
Yes. TaskLoco Lite works completely offline with no internet required. It stores up to 20 notes directly on your device. TaskLoco Premium requires internet for syncing but mobile apps cache notes for offline viewing.
Is TaskLoco cheaper than other note-taking apps?
$9.99/month per person (currently $4.99/month per person for first 500 charter members with code CHARTER50)
What makes TaskLoco different from other note apps?
TaskLoco combines the visual simplicity of sticky notes with modern features like cloud sync, file attachments, and reminders. Most apps either stay too simple (Apple Notes) or become too complex (Notion). TaskLoco finds the middle ground.
Can teams use TaskLoco for collaborative note-taking?
Yes. TaskLoco Premium includes real-time note sharing, email notifications, and instant sync across team members. Each person needs their own subscription, but there are no minimum seat requirements or enterprise contracts.
