Todoist has been around since 2007 and earned its reputation as one of the cleanest task managers ever built. It's fast, cross-platform, and genuinely pleasant to use.
But "minimal" has a cost. File attachments, reminders, calendar view, and advanced filtering are all locked behind Todoist's paid plans. TaskLoco includes all of those in Premium — plus file storage, YouTube embeds, and a Chrome extension that captures any webpage in one click.
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.

What TaskLoco Does That Todoist Doesn't
Todoist is a task list. TaskLoco is a wall for your entire life — tasks, files, YouTube videos, images, links, documents, all tagged and searchable. Paste a YouTube link and it embeds instantly. Attach a PDF and it lives on the note forever. The Chrome extension captures any webpage in one click without leaving your browser.
Todoist has no file storage, no media embeds, and no Chrome capture equivalent.
Mobile and Cross-Platform
Both apps have solid mobile experiences. Todoist syncs seamlessly across all platforms. TaskLoco offers something Todoist doesn't: TaskLoco Lite works completely offline and anonymous on iPhone and Android — no account, no sign-in required. Perfect for people who want privacy and simplicity on mobile.
