Musicians juggle gigs, rehearsals, recording sessions, gear maintenance, and the business side of music. Most productivity apps either assume you're running a corporate project or they're music-specific tools that cost way too much for basic task management.
TaskLoco takes a different approach: sticky notes that sync everywhere, with just enough features to keep your creative life organized. No learning curve, no project management complexity, just notes that work the way your brain does.
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 Musicians Choose Simple Over Complex
Music-specific productivity apps like BandHelper ($4/month per member) or Setlist Helper ($9.99/month) focus on setlists, chord charts, and gig management. They're great if that's all you need, but most musicians also deal with regular life stuff: paying bills, scheduling rehearsals, remembering to restring guitars, and keeping track of lyrics ideas.
TaskLoco handles both creative and mundane tasks the same way: as sticky notes you can organize however makes sense to you. Write "Finish bridge for 'Midnight Blue'" right next to "Buy new bass strings" and "Email venue about sound check time."
The calendar view shows gigs alongside practice sessions and regular appointments. Reminders work for both "Pick up dry cleaning" and "Submit EPK to festival by Friday." File attachments hold lyric sheets, contracts, and tax documents in one place.
File Storage That Actually Makes Sense
Musicians accumulate files: demo recordings, lyric sheets, chord charts, contracts, press photos, setlists, equipment manuals, receipt scans for tax time. Most productivity apps either don't handle files or charge extra for storage.
TaskLoco Premium includes 10GB of file storage for no additional cost. Attach audio demos directly to the note about finishing that song. Keep venue contracts with the gig reminder. Store equipment manuals with maintenance reminders.
Files sync across all your devices automatically. That contract you photographed on your phone? Available on your laptop when you're doing taxes. The chord chart you saved on your computer? Right there on your phone during rehearsal.
Need more storage? Add-ons start at 50GB for musicians with extensive audio archives. But most people find 10GB handles their productivity files just fine.
Band Collaboration Without the Complexity
Band management apps like BandHelper charge per member and focus heavily on gig logistics. That's overkill if you just need to share basic info: rehearsal schedules, who's bringing what gear, song arrangement notes, or splitting gas money for the tour.
TaskLoco Premium lets you share specific notes with band members. Create a "Summer Tour 2024" note that everyone can see and edit. Share the setlist note so anyone can suggest changes. Keep the note about venue contacts visible to whoever's handling bookings.
Real-time sync means when someone updates the shared rehearsal schedule, everyone sees it immediately. Email notifications tell you when shared notes change, so you don't miss important updates.
Unlike project management tools that require learning complex workflows, TaskLoco sharing works like texting: write a note, share it with whoever needs to see it, done. No project hierarchies, no permission levels, no training required.
Free Tiers for Musicians on a Budget
The music industry runs on tight budgets, especially for independent artists. TaskLoco offers two completely free options that actually work for basic needs.
TaskLoco Lite is a completely anonymous app for iPhone and Android. No sign-in, no account, no monthly fees ever. It stores 20 notes directly on your device and works completely offline. Perfect for jotting down lyric ideas or gear reminders when you're in the studio without internet.
TaskLoco Lite Plus+ works on all devices and syncs up to 30 notes across everything. Sign in with Google (still free), and your notes appear on your phone, laptop, and the web app. The Chrome extension lets you save interesting articles or YouTube tutorials with one click.
When you're ready for reminders, file storage, and unlimited notes, TaskLoco Premium costs less than most music streaming services. And the charter offer locks in 50% off for life — if you're building a music career, that discount gets more valuable as the service grows.
