Apple Notes started as a simple notepad and stayed that way. It's fine for grocery lists, but the moment you need reminders that actually work, file attachments that don't disappear, or team collaboration that goes beyond basic sharing, Apple Notes falls apart.
TaskLoco takes the sticky note concept seriously. Every note can become a task with push notification reminders that deep-link back to the original note. Files attach directly to notes with 10GB of storage. Team sharing works like email — recipients get their own copy to modify without permission layers. It's what Apple Notes should have been all along.
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.

Reminders That Actually Remind You
Apple Notes lets you set reminders, but they disappear into the iOS notification abyss. You get a generic alert that says "Reminder" with no context about what you're supposed to remember.
TaskLoco's reminders are delivered as push notifications that deep-link directly back to the original note. Click the notification and you're instantly viewing the full context — your task, attached files, related notes. No hunting through apps trying to remember what you forgot.
Optional email and SMS notifications are available as add-ons, but the core experience is push notifications that actually get you back to work.
File Attachments That Don't Vanish
Apple Notes handles images fine, but try attaching a PDF or spreadsheet and watch the sync issues multiply. Files often fail to appear on other devices, or show up as broken links that crash the app.
TaskLoco includes 10GB of file storage with every Premium subscription. Drag any file type directly onto a note and it attaches instantly. Photos, documents, audio recordings — everything syncs reliably across devices through the web app and Chrome extension.
Files are stored securely on AWS and accessible through secure links that expire automatically. No wondering if your important document will be there when you need it.
Team Sharing Without the Headaches
Apple Notes collaboration is a mess of permissions and sync conflicts. Someone shares a note, but half the team can't edit it, changes get lost, and nobody knows who changed what.
TaskLoco's team sharing works like email — simple and foolproof. Share a note and recipients get their own copy to modify freely. No permission layers, no access levels, no sync conflicts. Everyone has their own version that they can customize without breaking anyone else's workflow.
Need to collaborate? Share the note. Need your own version? You already have it. Need to re-share your changes? Share again. It's collaboration that actually works.
Chrome Extension for Instant Capture
Apple Notes has no web presence. You're stuck copying and pasting links, trying to remember website details, and switching between apps to capture information from the web.
TaskLoco's Chrome extension captures any webpage in one click. Article you want to read later? One click. Important email thread? One click. Research for a project? One click and it's saved with the full context.
The extension works with both free Lite Plus+ and Premium subscriptions, syncing captured content across all your devices instantly.
