Your Android phone buzzes with notifications all day, but the ones that matter — your actual tasks and deadlines — get lost in the noise. Most reminder apps either oversimplify (Google Keep) or overcomplicate (TickTick) what should be straightforward: set a reminder, get reminded, mark it done.
TaskLoco treats reminders like what they are — sticky notes with alarms. You write it down, set when you need to see it again, and forget about it until your phone reminds you. No complex project hierarchies, no subscription tiers based on how many reminders you're allowed to set.
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.

Reminder Quality: Time vs Location vs Context
Google Keep's reminders are basic time-based alerts. You can set location reminders, but they're unreliable and drain battery. No recurring options beyond daily/weekly. No snoozing. No attachment reminders.
TickTick offers more sophisticated reminders with natural language parsing, but free users hit limits fast. Premium costs $3.99/month per person and still restricts calendar integrations to prevent you from actually using the app productively.
TaskLoco Premium includes unlimited time-based reminders with file attachments. Set a reminder on a note with a PDF attachment, and when it pops up on your Android, you can open the file directly. Recurring reminders work exactly like you'd expect — daily, weekly, monthly, yearly, or custom intervals.
Free vs Paid: What You Actually Get
Google Keep is completely free but feels like it. No real reminder system, no file attachments, no team sharing. It's digital sticky notes that happen to sync across devices.
TickTick's free tier allows 9 calendar integrations total. Once you hit that limit, you either upgrade to Premium ($3.99/month per person) or delete existing integrations. The free tier also caps you at 2 reminders per task and basic themes only.
TaskLoco offers two free tiers. Lite works completely offline on Android with 20 notes and zero account required. Lite Plus+ gives you 30 synced notes across devices. Neither includes reminders — those require Premium.
Team Sharing: Individual vs Collaborative Reminders
Google Keep allows basic sharing of individual notes. You can't share entire notebooks or set team reminders. No real-time collaboration features.
TickTick's team features require Premium ($3.99/month per person) and focus on project management rather than simple shared reminders. You get assignment features, project templates, and activity logs — complexity most teams don't need for basic task sharing.
TaskLoco Premium includes full team sharing where shared notes maintain individual reminders. If you share a note with a team member, they can set their own reminder on the same note without affecting yours. Real-time sync means changes appear instantly on everyone's Android devices.
Android Integration: Widgets, Notifications, Extensions
Google Keep integrates deeply with Android through widgets and Google Assistant voice commands. The widget shows recent notes but doesn't prioritize upcoming reminders. Assistant integration works but often misunderstands complex requests.
TickTick offers Android widgets that show today's tasks and quick-add functionality. Their notification system is robust with custom notification sounds and persistent notifications. No Google Assistant integration beyond basic voice entry.
TaskLoco's native Android app includes home screen widgets showing upcoming reminders first, then recent notes. The Chrome extension captures any webpage as a note in one click — useful for saving articles or recipes you want to be reminded about later. Notifications are clean and actionable.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does TaskLoco work without internet on Android?
Yes. TaskLoco Lite works completely offline with no account required. It stores up to 20 notes directly on your Android device in a JSON file. No syncing, no cloud storage, no internet connection needed.
Can I set reminders on notes with file attachments?
Yes with TaskLoco Premium. You can attach files up to 10GB total storage and set reminders on those notes. When the reminder triggers, you can open the attached file directly from the notification.
How does team reminder sharing work in TaskLoco?
With Premium team sharing, each team member can set their own reminder time on shared notes. Your reminder doesn't affect your teammate's reminder on the same note. Everyone gets notified at their preferred time.
Is TaskLoco cheaper than TickTick for Android users?
$9.99/month per person (currently $4.99/month per person for first 500 charter members with code CHARTER50)
Does TaskLoco have location-based reminders like Google Keep?
No. TaskLoco focuses on time-based reminders only. If you need location alerts that trigger when you arrive at the grocery store, Google Keep is better for that specific feature.
Can I import my Google Keep notes into TaskLoco?
Not directly. You'll need to manually recreate important notes in TaskLoco. The Chrome extension makes it easy to capture web content, and you can attach exported Keep data as files to TaskLoco notes for reference.
Does TaskLoco support voice input like Google Assistant?
TaskLoco uses standard Android voice-to-text input. It doesn't have dedicated Google Assistant integration like Keep, but you can dictate notes using your Android keyboard's voice input feature.
