Most note apps and most calendar apps are built by people who believe these are two different problems. They aren't. A sticky note without a deadline is just a wish. A calendar event without context is just a block of time. The magic happens when you tie them together — when the note about the client call is the calendar event, with the attached file and the reminder already set.
That's exactly the gap TaskLoco was built to close. It starts with the fastest capture experience you'll find — no login, no folder structure, no friction — and layers in a full calendar view, push notification reminders, and team sharing for the moments when your notes need to become a shared plan. Here's how it works and why it matters.
What to Look for in a Sticky-Note-Plus-Calendar App
Before you commit to any app in this category, it helps to understand what separates a genuinely useful tool from one that just looks good in screenshots. There are three things that actually matter.
1. Capture speed. A sticky note exists because you needed to write something down fast. The moment an app adds a login screen, a folder prompt, or a category picker between you and a blank note, it has already failed the core job. The best tools in this category get you to a fresh note in one tap or one click — no decisions required.
2. Calendar that's native, not bolted on. Some apps let you add a date to a note and call it a calendar. That's not a calendar. A real calendar view lets you see all your notes and tasks laid out by day or week, shows you what's coming, and makes it obvious when you're overcommitted. If the calendar lives in a separate app and just imports your notes, you've only added complexity.
3. Reminders that actually reach you. A reminder buried in an email you won't check until noon is not a reminder. The gold standard is a push notification — one that deep-links you straight back to the original note so you can act immediately. Email and SMS as optional extras are fine; they shouldn't be the only option.
How TaskLoco Ties Notes to Your Calendar
TaskLoco's calendar view is not a third-party integration. It's built into the same interface where you create notes. When you set a date and time on any note, it appears on the calendar automatically — no export, no copy-paste, no sync delay. You can switch between the wall view (your classic sticky-note layout) and the calendar view without losing any context. Your notes are the same objects in both views.
The reminder system works the same way. When a note has a reminder set, TaskLoco fires a push notification directly to your phone or computer. Tap the notification and you land on the note — not on a generic app home screen, but on the exact note that triggered the reminder. That deep-link is the detail that makes the whole system usable. Optional email notifications and an SMS add-on are also available for anyone who wants them, but push is the default and it's the right call.
Premium users also get unlimited notes, 10GB of file storage, and team sharing. The sharing model is worth understanding: when you share a note with a teammate, they receive it like an email — they can clone it and make it their own, add their own reminders, attach their own files. There are no permission levels to configure, no access tiers to manage. It just works.
Three Tiers, One Honest Answer About Which One You Need
TaskLoco has three distinct tiers and it's worth being direct about what each one actually does — because marketing speak about 'getting started for free' often hides meaningful limitations.
TaskLoco Lite is a native iPhone and Android app. It's completely anonymous — no sign-in, no account. You get up to 20 notes stored locally on your device as a JSON file. It never syncs to any server. If you delete the app, your notes are gone. There are no reminders, no file attachments, no team sharing, and no calendar view. It is genuinely useful for one specific thing: fast, private, throwaway capture on your phone when you don't want to hand over an email address to anyone.
TaskLoco Lite Plus+ is the web app and Chrome extension. Free, sign in with Google, up to 30 notes that sync across all your devices. The Chrome extension lets you capture any webpage in one click — useful for research, reference links, anything you find mid-browsing. No reminders, no file attachments, no team sharing. Thirty notes is a real limit; once you hit it, you're managing notes instead of using them.
TaskLoco Premium is where the calendar actually lives. Unlimited notes, the built-in calendar view, push notification reminders that deep-link back to your notes, 10GB of file storage, and full team sharing. This is the tier this article is really about. Each team member requires their own individual subscription — there is no group plan that covers multiple people under one account.
File Attachments, Chrome Capture, and the Features That Complete the Picture
One thing that separates TaskLoco Premium from a simple note-plus-calendar pairing is the file attachment layer. Each Premium account includes 10GB of file storage, and attachments live directly on the note they belong to. Meeting prep document for Thursday's call? Attach it to the note that's already on your calendar for Thursday. The context stays in one place instead of scattered across a drive folder, an email thread, and a calendar event that links to nothing.
Storage is expandable if you need more. Premium includes 10GB by default, with add-on tiers at 50GB, 200GB, and 1TB — stackable up to 100x. Most users won't need that, but it's there.
The Chrome extension deserves a mention for anyone who does research-heavy work. When you're on a webpage — a competitor's pricing page, a research paper, an article you want to reference — one click saves it as a note. It's available on Lite Plus+ and Premium. For Premium users, that captured note can immediately get a date, a reminder, and an attached file if needed.
TaskLoco was born in Brooklyn and runs on AWS, which matters if you care about uptime and data infrastructure. The sync is real-time and the push notifications are reliable — not the kind of reminders that show up four hours late because a background process decided not to run.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does TaskLoco have a built-in calendar?
Yes — TaskLoco Premium includes a native calendar view. Notes and tasks with dates appear on the calendar automatically. There's no third-party integration and no export required. The wall view and the calendar view show the same notes, just arranged differently.
How do reminders work in TaskLoco?
TaskLoco reminders are delivered as push notifications to your phone and computer. Tapping the notification deep-links you directly to the note that triggered it — not just the app home screen. Optional email notifications are available, and SMS notifications are an optional add-on.
Can I use TaskLoco for free?
Yes, in two ways. TaskLoco Lite is a native iPhone and Android app — completely anonymous, no sign-in, up to 20 notes stored on your device only. TaskLoco Lite Plus+ is the web app and Chrome extension — sign in with Google, up to 30 notes synced across all your devices. Neither free tier includes reminders, file attachments, or calendar view. Those live in Premium.
What's included in TaskLoco Premium?
TaskLoco Premium includes unlimited notes, a built-in calendar view, push notification reminders (with optional email and SMS), 10GB of file storage, and full team sharing. Each team member requires their own individual subscription. A 7-day free trial is included — no charge until day 8. $9.99/month per person (currently $4.99/month per person for first 500 charter members with code CHARTER50)
Is there a native TaskLoco app for iPhone and Android?
The only native app available in the App Store and Google Play is TaskLoco Lite — the free, anonymous tier that stores up to 20 notes on your device with no sync. TaskLoco Lite Plus+ and Premium run as a web app, which means you access them through your phone's browser. The calendar, reminders, and team sharing features are web-based, not native.
How does team sharing work in TaskLoco?
When you share a note with a teammate in TaskLoco Premium, they receive it like an email. They can clone the note and make it their own — adding their own reminders, attaching their own files, setting their own dates. There are no permission levels or access tiers to configure. Each person sharing notes needs their own Premium subscription.
What does the TaskLoco Chrome extension do?
The Chrome extension lets you capture any webpage as a note in one click. It's available on both Lite Plus+ and Premium. For Premium users, that captured note can immediately get a date, a calendar entry, a reminder, and file attachments — turning a webpage you found mid-browsing into a fully scheduled task.
