Evernote deserves credit for pioneering digital note-taking and still leads in web clipping sophistication. Their OCR text recognition in images remains unmatched, and their document scanning quality is genuinely superior to most alternatives.
But Evernote's free tier has become restrictive — device limits, monthly upload caps, and feature walls that interrupt your workflow. TaskLoco takes a different approach: two genuinely useful free tiers, then one simple Premium subscription that includes everything. No artificial limits, no monthly quotas, no surprises.
Two Free Tiers That Actually Work
TaskLoco Lite runs natively on iPhone and Android — completely anonymous with no sign-in required. Store up to 20 notes directly on your device. Perfect for quick thoughts, shopping lists, or private notes you don't need synced.
TaskLoco Lite Plus+ runs in your browser with Google sign-in. Get up to 30 notes that sync across all your devices, plus the Chrome extension for one-click webpage capture. Both tiers are genuinely free forever — no monthly upload limits, no device restrictions, no surprise lockouts.
Premium Without the Enterprise Bloat
TaskLoco Premium includes unlimited notes, 10GB file storage, calendar view, reminders delivered as push notifications, and team sharing. Everything syncs instantly across devices through your browser and Chrome extension.
Reminders deep-link back to the original note — tap the notification and you're immediately editing the task that needs attention. Optional email and SMS notifications available as add-ons.
Team sharing works like email — share a note and recipients can clone it to make their own copy. No permission layers, no access management overhead. Each team member needs their own subscription, but the collaboration features are included.
Files and Attachments Made Simple
Every Premium note can include file attachments up to your 10GB storage limit. Photos, PDFs, documents — everything stays with the relevant note instead of scattered across separate apps.
The Chrome extension captures any webpage in one click, saving the full content to a new note. No formatting loss, no broken links — the entire page becomes searchable text in your notes.
Need more storage? Add-on tiers go from 10GB to 1TB, stackable up to 100x for enterprise-scale file management.
Built for Speed, Not Enterprise Complexity
TaskLoco focuses on getting things done fast. Create a note, set a reminder, attach a file, share with your team — all without navigating complex menus or enterprise features you'll never use.
The interface stays clean whether you're using the native iPhone app (Lite), the web dashboard (Plus+ and Premium), or the Chrome extension. Everything syncs instantly when you're online, and the search finds content across all your notes and attachments.
