Your iPhone deserves a task manager that actually works the way you think. Not some enterprise monstrosity that needs a PhD to configure, and not some minimalist app that makes you pay $50 just to add a photo to a task.
TaskLoco gives you sticky notes that sync everywhere, handle files, send reminders, and share with your team. All for less than what most competitors charge for basic features. Here's why it's the best task manager for iPhone users who want power without complexity.
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.

Why TaskLoco Beats Traditional iPhone Task Apps
Most iPhone task apps fall into two camps: expensive one-time purchases that never update meaningfully, or subscription apps that nickel-and-dime you for basic features.
Things 3 costs $50 upfront but has zero collaboration features. You can't share a task with anyone. No file attachments. No team features. It's a beautiful solo app trapped in 2010.
Todoist starts at $4/month but limits you to 5 projects and 5MB file uploads on their cheapest tier. Want unlimited projects? That's $16/month per person. Need advanced features? Jump to $19/month per person.
The iPhone app works completely offline with TaskLoco Lite — 20 notes stored locally, no account required. Perfect for sensitive notes or when you're off-grid.
File Attachments That Actually Work
Here's where most iPhone task apps fail spectacularly. Things 3 doesn't do file attachments at all. Apple Reminders lets you attach photos but good luck finding them later. Todoist charges $16/month for 100MB of storage — that's maybe 20 photos.
TaskLoco Premium includes 10GB of file storage. Attach photos, PDFs, voice memos, documents — whatever you need. Files sync instantly across all your devices and are searchable within notes.
The iPhone app handles media beautifully. Take a photo of a receipt, voice record meeting notes, or grab a screenshot — it all lives with your task, organized and accessible.
Team Sharing Without Enterprise Complexity
Most iPhone task apps treat collaboration like an afterthought. Things 3 has zero sharing. Apple Reminders can share lists but notifications are unreliable. OmniFocus charges $40 per person annually just for basic sync.
TaskLoco Premium includes full team sharing from day one. Create a note, share it with teammates, and everyone sees updates in real-time. Email notifications keep everyone in the loop without constant app checking.
Each team member needs their own subscription, but there are no minimums, no enterprise tiers, no sales calls. Just straightforward per-person pricing.
Cross-Platform Sync That Just Works
Your iPhone is important, but it's not your only device. TaskLoco syncs seamlessly between iPhone, Android, Mac, PC, and web browsers. Create a note on your iPhone, edit it on your laptop, share it from your browser — everything stays in sync.
The Chrome extension captures any webpage as a note with one click. Perfect for saving articles, recipes, or research without switching apps.
TaskLoco Lite Plus+ gives you 30 synced notes for free across all devices. Upgrade to Premium for unlimited notes plus reminders, file attachments, and team features.
