You wrote it on a sticky note. You meant to do it. Then you buried it under three other sticky notes and forgot it existed until the deadline had already passed. Sound familiar? The problem was never the sticky note — it was that sticky notes can't remind you.
That changes with TaskLoco. Attach a reminder to any note and get a push notification when it's due. Not an email you'll ignore, not a calendar event you have to create separately — a direct ping to your phone or computer that drops you right back into the note the moment it matters. This is how sticky notes were always supposed to work.
What to Look for in a Sticky Note App With Reminders
Not every note-taking app that advertises reminders actually delivers them in a way that's useful. Before you commit to any tool, there are a few things worth getting right.
1. How are reminders delivered? This matters more than it sounds. An app that sends reminders only to an email inbox forces you to check yet another place. The best tools deliver push notifications directly to your device — the same way a text message arrives. That's the experience that actually interrupts what you're doing and gets your attention.
2. Does the reminder link back to the note? A generic alert that says "You have a task due" is almost useless if you then have to go hunting for the actual note. The reminder should deep-link you straight back to the specific note it belongs to — one tap, you're there, you're working.
3. Is the note experience still fast and visual? Some apps bolt reminders onto a complicated project management interface that buries the simplicity of a sticky note under layers of menus. If adding a reminder requires navigating a settings panel, you'll stop using it. The best apps keep notes front and center and make reminders feel like a natural extension of the note itself.
How TaskLoco Reminders Actually Work
TaskLoco is built around a simple idea: a sticky note should do more than sit there. With TaskLoco Premium, every note can carry a reminder. Set a date and time, and when that moment arrives, a push notification fires to your phone and your computer simultaneously.
The notification isn't just a ping — it's a direct link. Tap it, and you land on the exact note the reminder belongs to. Not the app home screen. Not a notification center. The note. This is the detail that actually changes how you work, because you're never left wondering what the reminder was for or where the relevant context lives.
Want a text message too? TaskLoco also offers an optional SMS add-on, so you can get a text when a note is due. Prefer email? That's available too, as an optional free channel on top of push notifications. You choose the channels that fit how you actually pay attention.
This is what separates TaskLoco from apps that treat reminders as a checkbox feature. The reminder is integrated into the note itself — not a separate to-do list, not a separate calendar entry. The note and the reminder are one object.
Beyond Reminders: The Full Sticky Note Experience
Reminders are the headline feature here, but TaskLoco Premium builds an entire productive workspace around each note. Attach files directly to any note — receipts, PDFs, photos, documents — with 10GB of file storage included. Need more? Storage add-on tiers go up to 1TB, stackable.
A calendar view shows all your notes with due dates laid out across the month, so you can see what's coming without hunting through a wall of notes. Unlimited notes means you never have to delete old ones to make room for new ones. And with team sharing, you can share a note with a colleague who can clone it and make it their own — it works the way sharing an email works, without any complicated permissions or access levels to manage.
Real-time sync keeps everything current across every device you use the web app on. Capture anything from the web with the Chrome extension — one click grabs a page and turns it into a note, ready for a reminder if you need one.
Which Version of TaskLoco Is Right for You?
TaskLoco comes in three versions, and the right one depends on what you actually need.
TaskLoco Lite is a free native iPhone and Android app. It's completely anonymous — no sign-in, no account required. It stores up to 20 notes as a JSON file on your device only. There's no sync, no reminders, no attachments. It's a pure, private sticky note pad on your phone. If you've never used a digital sticky note app before and want to try the concept, this is the no-risk starting point.
TaskLoco Lite Plus+ is a free web app (plus Chrome extension) that lets you sign in with Google and sync up to 30 notes across all your devices. The Chrome extension lets you capture any webpage in one click. Still no reminders, no file attachments, no team sharing — but cross-device sync is a significant step up from Lite.
TaskLoco Premium is where reminders live. This is the version that texts you, pushes a notification to your phone, and drops you back into the note. It also includes unlimited notes, 10GB file storage, calendar view, and team sharing. If getting a notification when a sticky note is due is why you're here, Premium is the answer.
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.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I get a text message when a sticky note is due?
Yes — TaskLoco Premium includes an optional SMS add-on that sends you a text when a note's reminder fires. The primary delivery is a push notification to your phone and computer, with optional email and SMS channels available on top of that.
How are TaskLoco reminders delivered?
Reminders in TaskLoco Premium are delivered as push notifications to your phone and computer. Email notifications are an optional free channel. SMS is an optional add-on. Every reminder notification deep-links you directly back to the specific note it belongs to.
Does the free version of TaskLoco have reminders?
No. Neither TaskLoco Lite (the free native app) nor TaskLoco Lite Plus+ (the free web app) includes reminders. Reminders are a Premium-only feature. TaskLoco Lite stores up to 20 notes on your device with no sync. Lite Plus+ syncs up to 30 notes across devices. Only Premium adds reminders, file attachments, unlimited notes, calendar view, and team sharing.
What happens when a TaskLoco reminder fires?
When a reminder fires, you receive a push notification on your phone and computer. Tapping or clicking that notification takes you directly to the note the reminder was set on — not the app home screen, the specific note. If you've enabled email or SMS, those arrive at the same time as optional additional channels.
Is there a free trial for TaskLoco Premium?
Yes. TaskLoco Premium includes a 7-day free trial. No charge until day 8, and you can cancel anytime. $9.99/month per person (currently $4.99/month per person for first 500 charter members with code CHARTER50)
Can I get reminder notifications on both my phone and computer?
Yes. TaskLoco Premium push notifications are delivered to both your phone and your computer simultaneously. You can also add optional email notifications or optional SMS as additional channels if you want reminders to reach you through more than one path.
Does the TaskLoco Chrome extension support reminders?
The Chrome extension itself is a capture tool — it lets you grab any webpage in one click and turn it into a note. Once that note exists in your Premium account, you can add a reminder to it just like any other note. The reminder then delivers as a push notification when it's due, deep-linking you back to that note.
