David Allen's Getting Things Done changed how millions think about productivity. But most GTD apps turned his elegant system into complex project management monsters with endless menus, nested folders, and feature bloat that actually makes you less productive.
TaskLoco takes the opposite approach. It strips GTD back to its core principles — capture everything, organize simply, review regularly, and act with clarity. No project templates, no workflow automation, no enterprise features that get in your way. Just pure GTD philosophy in a fast, clean interface that actually helps you get things 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.

Capture Everything — The GTD Foundation
David Allen's first rule: get everything out of your head and into a trusted system. TaskLoco makes this effortless with instant note creation and the Chrome extension that captures any webpage, email, or idea in one click.
Unlike traditional GTD apps that force you to categorize everything upfront, TaskLoco lets you dump thoughts as fast as they come. Create notes in seconds, add files by dragging them in, and use the Chrome extension to capture web research without breaking your flow.
Your brain stays clear because everything gets captured immediately. You can organize later during your GTD review sessions, exactly as Allen intended.
Organize Simply — No GTD Overhead
Most GTD apps bury you in contexts, projects, and sub-projects until the system becomes harder to manage than your actual work. TaskLoco keeps organization visual and immediate with sticky note walls that mirror how your brain actually works.
Group related notes together, move them around as priorities shift, and see your whole GTD system at a glance. No nested folders, no complex hierarchies — just visual organization that makes sense.
Set reminders for time-sensitive items, attach files to action items, and share notes with team members when collaboration is needed. The system stays simple while handling everything David Allen's methodology requires.
Review and Act — GTD Without Friction
The GTD weekly review is where the magic happens, but most apps make it a chore with complicated dashboards and overwhelming data. TaskLoco's calendar view and search make reviews fast and focused.
See everything due this week in calendar view, search across all notes and files to find anything instantly, and update action items without navigating complex menus. The system supports your GTD practice instead of getting in its way.
When it's time to act, everything you need is right there: the original capture, related files, team context, and clear next actions. No friction between decision and execution.
Team GTD — Shared Without Complexity
David Allen designed GTD for individuals, but modern work requires team coordination. TaskLoco extends GTD principles to teams without the project management complexity that kills productivity.
Share notes with team members who can clone them and make them their own — no permission levels or access controls to manage. Everyone maintains their personal GTD system while staying aligned on shared work.
push notifications with optional email & SMS notifications available keep everyone informed without constant app checking, and the simple sharing model means less time managing the system and more time executing on what matters.
