Most 'free' task apps hit you with credit card walls disguised as trials. You want to organize your tasks without handing over payment details or getting locked into subscriptions you didn't ask for.
TaskLoco breaks this pattern with two actually free options that require zero financial commitment. No trials that auto-charge, no 'just to verify your identity' card collection, no surprise billing after 14 days.
What to Look for in a Free Task App
A truly free task app should work without payment details, hidden subscriptions, or forced upgrades. The core question is whether you can accomplish real work without ever entering a credit card.
Three key criteria separate genuine free apps from trial traps: no credit card requirement for basic functionality, permanent access to your core features, and clear boundaries on what costs money. Apps that demand payment info 'just to get started' or hide essential features behind paywalls aren't actually free.
The best free task apps let you capture, organize, and track your work immediately. Whether you need basic note-taking, cross-device sync, or team sharing determines which tier serves your needs.
TaskLoco's Two Free Tiers Explained
TaskLoco Lite runs as a native iPhone and Android app with zero account creation. Download it, start adding up to 20 notes immediately. No email, no password, no credit card ever. Your notes store locally on your device in a simple JSON file.
TaskLoco Lite Plus+ adds cross-device sync through the web app and Chrome extension. Sign in with your existing Google account — no new passwords or billing setup. You get 30 notes that sync across all your devices, plus one-click webpage capture through the Chrome extension.
The key difference: Lite. Lite Plus+ syncs everywhere but requires an internet connection. Choose based on whether you work from multiple devices.
What Premium Adds Without the Credit Card Trap
TaskLoco Premium removes the note limits and adds reminders, file attachments, calendar view, and team sharing. But here's what matters for free users: Premium starts with a 7-day trial that doesn't require a credit card upfront.
You only enter payment details when you decide to continue after the trial. No surprise charges on day 8, no 'forgot to cancel' billing disasters. The trial simply ends and you return to your previous free tier with all your existing notes intact.
Premium includes push notification reminders that deep-link back to your original notes, 10GB of file storage, unlimited notes and calendar events, and full team sharing capabilities. But you can explore all of this risk-free without any payment commitment.
Why TaskLoco Stays Truly Free
TaskLoco's free tiers aren't loss leaders designed to frustrate you into upgrading. They're functional productivity tools built for people who need basic task organization without subscription overhead.
The company makes money from users who genuinely need unlimited notes, reminders, and team features — not from tricking free users into unwanted charges. This model keeps the free experience clean and useful rather than artificially crippled.
Most importantly, your work stays yours. Free tier users own their notes completely. Even if you eventually upgrade to Premium and later cancel, your original free notes remain accessible. No data hostage situations, no export restrictions, no forced migrations.
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.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is TaskLoco actually free forever?
Yes. TaskLoco Lite (20 notes, no sync) and Lite Plus+ (30 synced notes) are permanently free with no time limits, no credit card requirements, and no feature degradation. Your free notes never disappear.
Do I need to create an account for the free version?
TaskLoco Lite requires no account — it's completely anonymous. Lite Plus+ uses your existing Google account for sync across devices. Neither version requires new passwords or billing information.
What happens when I hit the note limit?
Lite (20 notes) and Lite Plus+ (30 notes) simply prevent adding new notes when you reach the limit. Delete old notes to make room, or upgrade to Premium for unlimited notes. No surprise charges or forced upgrades.
Can I try Premium features without a credit card?
Yes. Premium includes a genuine 7-day trial with no upfront payment details required. You only enter billing information if you choose to continue after the trial ends. $9.99/month per person (currently $4.99/month per person for first 500 charter members with code CHARTER50)
Will my free notes disappear if I try Premium and cancel?
No. Your original free tier notes remain accessible permanently. Premium trials and cancellations don't affect your existing free content. Your data stays yours regardless of subscription status.
How does TaskLoco sync work in the free tier?
TaskLoco Lite (mobile app) doesn't sync — notes stay on your device only. Lite Plus+ (web app + Chrome extension) syncs across all devices through your Google account. Both require internet connection except Lite.
What's the difference between Lite and Lite Plus+?
Lite: 20 notes, native mobile app, no account needed, works on device only. Lite Plus+: 30 notes, web app + Chrome extension, syncs across devices with Google sign-in, includes webpage capture feature.
