BJ Fogg's Tiny Habits app teaches you to build habits through celebration and structured tracking. TaskLoco takes a different approach — visual sticky notes that capture habits, tasks, and reminders together without forcing you into tracking boxes.
The difference matters because real habits happen alongside your other work, not in isolation. TaskLoco's sticky note system lets you build habits naturally while managing everything else in your day.
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.

Visual Notes vs Rigid Tracking
BJ Fogg's app requires you to log habits daily in a structured format. You pick specific habits, set anchors, and track completion with celebration prompts. This works for some people but feels mechanical for others.
TaskLoco uses visual sticky notes that capture habits naturally. Write "Drink water after coffee" on a note, pin it to your dashboard, and move it around as needed. No logging required — just visual reminders that stick.
The visual approach means you can cluster related habits, add context, attach photos of your progress, and mix habits with other tasks seamlessly. Everything stays visible until you decide to archive it.
Integrated Workflow vs Separate App
BJ Fogg's app lives in isolation. You open it to track habits, then switch to other apps for tasks, calendars, and notes. This context switching breaks the natural flow of building habits within your daily routine.
TaskLoco integrates everything. Your morning routine note can include habits, work tasks, and appointment reminders. Set a reminder for "Take vitamins" right next to "Review client presentation." Both get the same treatment — visual notes with reminders and calendar integration.
This integration matters because habits succeed when they're anchored to existing routines. TaskLoco's Premium tier includes reminders, calendar view, and team sharing so your habits can connect naturally to the rest of your life.
Flexibility vs Prescribed Method
BJ Fogg's method follows a specific formula: anchor moment, tiny behavior, immediate celebration. The app enforces this structure, which can feel restrictive if your thinking doesn't match the framework perfectly.
TaskLoco gives you complete flexibility. Create a note called "Morning Wins" and list whatever habits work for you. Add photos, attach files with habit research, set reminders for different times. Your approach, your rules.
The Chrome extension captures habit ideas from websites instantly. See an article about meditation? Clip it directly to your "Health Goals" note. TaskLoco adapts to your discovery process instead of forcing predetermined categories.
Team Habits vs Solo Tracking
BJ Fogg's app focuses on individual habit tracking. Building team habits or sharing progress with family requires external coordination and separate apps.
TaskLoco Premium includes team sharing that makes group habits natural. Share your "Family Fitness" note with your spouse. Everyone can add their own habits, see what others are working on, and get push notifications with optional email & SMS notifications available when someone updates the shared note.
Team members can clone shared notes and customize them individually while staying connected to the group goal. This creates accountability without rigid tracking requirements.
