Artists juggle multiple projects, client deadlines, reference materials, and creative inspiration all at once. Traditional productivity apps feel sterile and disconnected from creative work. You need something visual, flexible, and built for the way creative minds actually think.
TaskLoco approaches productivity like a digital artist's studio wall — sticky notes everywhere, but organized and searchable. Attach reference photos to project notes, set reminders for gallery submissions, and keep inspiration captures in one searchable place.
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.

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.

Visual Project Organization for Artists
Artists think visually, but most productivity apps force you into text-heavy lists and rigid project structures. TaskLoco works like a digital version of your studio wall — notes arranged however makes sense to you, with visual previews and instant access to everything.
Create color-coded notes for different projects, clients, or stages of work. Each note can hold project details, deadlines, client contact info, and payment tracking. The wall view lets you see everything at once, just like scanning your physical workspace.
Unlike project management tools built for corporate teams, TaskLoco doesn't force you into predetermined workflows. Your sculpture project, painting series, and freelance logo work can all live on the same wall with completely different organizational approaches.
Reference Materials and Inspiration Management
Artists accumulate massive amounts of visual references, color palettes, technique notes, and inspiration captures. TaskLoco's file attachment system lets you build a searchable library tied directly to specific projects or ideas.
Attach reference photos, color swatches, client mood boards, and technique videos to relevant notes. The Chrome extension captures web inspiration in one click — see a color combination on Pinterest? Capture it instantly to your 'Color Ideas' note with full context.
Each Premium subscription includes 10GB of file storage, expandable to 1TB. That's thousands of high-resolution reference images, video tutorials, and client files. Everything syncs across your phone, tablet, and computer for access anywhere inspiration strikes.
Deadline Management Without Corporate Overhead
Artists face unique deadline challenges — gallery submissions, client revisions, exhibition prep, and commission deliveries. Traditional project management tools add unnecessary complexity with Gantt charts and dependency tracking you don't need.
TaskLoco's reminder system works for creative schedules. Set painting session reminders, client check-in alerts, or submission deadline warnings. Reminders sync across all devices and can repeat for ongoing projects like weekly social media posts or monthly portfolio updates.
The calendar view shows all your deadlines and commitments in one place without forcing you into rigid project hierarchies. Your art fair preparation, client work, and personal projects can all coexist with their own timelines and priorities.
Client Work and Commission Tracking
Managing multiple clients, commission stages, and payment schedules requires organization without bureaucracy. TaskLoco lets you track everything from initial concepts to final delivery without forcing you into complex client management systems.
Create client-specific notes with project details, payment milestones, revision rounds, and communication history. Share progress notes with clients directly — no need for separate client portals or complicated approval workflows.
Track commission progress through your own stages: concept, approval, work-in-progress, revisions, final delivery, payment received. Each stage can have its own notes, attachments, and reminders tailored to how you actually work.
