Asana wants to manage your entire project lifecycle with dependencies, portfolios, and enterprise dashboards. But most people just need to capture thoughts, set reminders, and share updates without navigating a project management maze.
TaskLoco takes the opposite approach: sticky note simplicity that scales. Write a note, set a reminder, attach files, share with your team. No project hierarchies, no permission matrices, no feature bloat that slows you down when you just need to get work done.
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.

Notes That Actually Work Like Sticky Notes
TaskLoco nails the core experience: writing notes that stick around and evolve into tasks. Each note can hold text, files, reminders, and due dates without forcing you into rigid project structures.
The interface feels like digital sticky notes — write fast, organize later, find everything with search. No mandatory fields, no project assignments, no workflow approvals. Just capture what matters and let TaskLoco handle the rest.
Asana forces every thought into their project framework, which works for formal project management but creates friction for daily note-taking and quick task capture.
File Attachments Without Storage Anxiety
Every TaskLoco Premium subscription includes 10GB of file storage — enough for thousands of documents, screenshots, and project files. Drag and drop anything into a note and it becomes searchable, shareable content.
Files integrate seamlessly with reminders and calendar events. Attach a contract to a follow-up reminder, embed screenshots in project notes, or share design files with team members who can clone your note and make it their own.
The storage model is transparent: pay once per person, get your allocation, add more when needed. No surprise overages, no per-file fees, no storage tiers that force team upgrades.
Team Sharing That Actually Makes Sense
TaskLoco's team sharing works like email: send a note to someone, they get a copy they can edit, no permissions drama. Recipients can clone shared notes and make them their own, creating natural branching for different team members' work.
Real-time sync keeps everyone updated, but there's no complex access control or approval workflows. Share what needs sharing, keep what needs staying private, let teams collaborate without administrative overhead.
Asana's collaboration model assumes enterprise project hierarchies with managers, approvers, and permission layers. TaskLoco assumes smart people who can manage their own work with lightweight coordination.
Reminders and Calendar Integration
TaskLoco reminders connect directly to your notes and files — set a reminder on a contract review, attach the contract file, get notified when it's time to act. Everything stays connected without jumping between apps.
Calendar view shows all your reminders and deadlines in one place, with each event linking back to the original note with full context. SMS reminders are available as an add-on for critical deadlines.
The calendar isn't trying to replace Google Calendar or Outlook — it's your task-focused view of what needs attention, when, with all the context attached.
