Most habit apps turn your morning routine into a video game or bury you in charts and streaks. But here's the thing — habits aren't complex. They're just tasks you need to remember to do every day.
TaskLoco cuts through the noise. Your habits become simple sticky notes with reminders. Write "Drink water when I wake up" on a note, set a daily reminder, and you're done. No points, no avatars, no guilt trips when you miss a day. Just clear, simple reminders that actually work.
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.

Why Habits Work Better as Simple Notes
Habit apps love to complicate things with streaks, levels, and achievements. But research shows that simple cues work better than complex systems. TaskLoco gives you the most basic cue possible — a sticky note reminder that pops up exactly when you need it.
Write your habit as a simple task: "10 pushups after coffee" or "Read for 15 minutes before bed." Set a daily reminder. When the notification hits your phone, you see exactly what to do. No opening an app, no checking progress bars, no decision fatigue.
TaskLoco's reminders work across all your devices. Set the reminder on your computer, get notified on your phone. The note syncs everywhere, so you can check off your habit whether you're at your desk or walking the dog.
Reminders That Actually Work
Most habit apps send generic notifications like "Time for your habits!" Then you have to open the app, navigate to your list, and figure out what you're supposed to do. TaskLoco shows you the exact habit right in the notification.
Your reminder says "Drink water when I wake up" — not "Daily habit reminder." You see the specific action, decide whether to do it now or later, and move on with your day. No app switching, no context switching, no friction.
You can set multiple reminders for the same habit. Maybe "Drink water" reminds you at 7 AM and 2 PM. Or "Take vitamins" reminds you at breakfast and dinner. Each reminder is specific to that moment in your day.
Track Progress Without the Pressure
Traditional habit trackers make you feel guilty when you miss a day. Broke your streak? Start over. Missed yesterday? You're failing. TaskLoco doesn't work that way.
Your habit notes stay visible on your wall whether you completed them yesterday or not. You can add quick notes about how the habit went: "Felt great after the walk" or "Skipped today — back tomorrow." No judgment, no streak anxiety, just honest tracking.
Attach photos to your habit notes when it makes sense. Take a picture of your healthy breakfast, your workout setup, or the book you're reading. These visual cues reinforce the habit without turning it into a social media performance.
The calendar view shows your habit notes over time, so you can see patterns without the pressure of maintaining streaks. Some weeks you'll nail every habit, others you'll focus on just one or two. That's how real habit building works.
Team Habits That Actually Stick
Want to build habits with family or friends? TaskLoco makes it simple. Share your habit note with your workout buddy, your reading group, or your family's morning routine.
Unlike habit apps that require everyone to use the same system, TaskLoco sharing works like email. Send your habit note to anyone — they can clone it to their own TaskLoco wall and make it theirs. No forced app downloads, no complex team setups.
Your shared morning routine note might include "Make beds," "Prep coffee," and "10-minute tidy." Each family member gets their own copy to check off and customize. You stay accountable without micromanaging each other's progress.
