Asana excels at complex project management with dependencies and timelines that larger teams need. But for many people, all that structure creates more overhead than value — especially when you just want to capture thoughts, set reminders, and share notes with teammates.
TaskLoco takes the opposite approach. Instead of rigid project frameworks, it gives you digital sticky notes that work like your brain actually thinks. Capture anything, set reminders that deep-link back to your notes, attach files, and share with your team. No project templates, no mandatory workflows — just fast, flexible productivity.
The Sticky Note Philosophy vs Project Management Overhead
Asana was built for project managers who think in timelines, dependencies, and structured workflows. TaskLoco was built for how your brain actually works — scattered thoughts that need to be captured fast, organized later.
With TaskLoco, you write a note like 'Call dentist Tuesday 2pm' and set a reminder. That's it. The reminder deep-links back to your original note with all the context. No project to create, no task dependencies to map, no templates to choose from.
The Chrome extension captures any webpage in one click. Your notes sync across all devices instantly. Files attach directly to notes with 10GB of storage included. Everything feels immediate and natural.
Two Free Tiers That Actually Work
TaskLoco gives you two ways to start free. TaskLoco Lite runs natively on your phone with 20 notes, no sign-in required, completely anonymous. Perfect for personal task capture that never leaves your device.
TaskLoco Lite Plus+ gives you 30 notes that sync across all devices with just a Google sign-in. Includes the Chrome extension for one-click webpage capture. Both free tiers work indefinitely — no trial periods or forced upgrades.
When you're ready for unlimited notes, reminders, file attachments, and team sharing, TaskLoco Premium removes all limits. $9.99/month per person (currently $4.99/month per person for first 500 charter members with code CHARTER50)
File Attachments That Make Sense
TaskLoco treats files like sticky note attachments — drop a PDF into your meeting notes, attach photos to your home improvement ideas, include documents with your project thoughts. Everything lives together in context.
The 10GB storage included with Premium handles thousands of documents, photos, and files. Access them from any device, share them with your team, search across file contents. No separate file management system to learn.
Files attach with secure links that work even when shared with teammates. Everyone sees the same version, updated in real-time across the team.
Team Sharing Without the Enterprise Complexity
TaskLoco team sharing works like email — share a note and teammates can clone it into their own workspace. No permissions to manage, no access levels to configure, no admin overhead.
Shared notes sync in real-time across the team. Reminders work for everyone. Files stay accessible. But unlike complex project management platforms, there's no learning curve — if you can use sticky notes, you can use TaskLoco.
Each team member needs their own subscription, but there are no enterprise minimums or forced seat counts. Scale up or down as your team changes.
