Using Google Calendar for scheduling and Todoist for tasks means you're constantly switching between apps, dealing with sync issues, and maintaining two separate systems. Your calendar events live in one place, your tasks in another, and keeping them aligned becomes a daily chore.
TaskLoco puts everything in one place. Tasks become calendar events automatically. Notes attach to both. Reminders work across everything. It's the unified approach that eliminates the app-switching dance entirely.
What to Look for in Task and Calendar Management
The best productivity setup needs three core elements: seamless task-to-calendar conversion, unified reminders that work across both tasks and events, and the ability to attach context (notes, files) to everything without jumping between apps.
Most people end up using separate tools — a calendar app and a task app — then spend time manually syncing information between them. The context switching alone kills productivity. Every task that becomes a calendar event requires double entry. Every meeting that spawns action items means opening a different app.
The ideal solution treats tasks and calendar events as the same underlying thing — scheduled work — with notes and files attached naturally to provide context when you need it.
The Problem with Split Systems
Google Calendar excels at scheduling but treats tasks as afterthoughts. Todoist excels at task management but its calendar view feels bolted-on. Using both means maintaining two databases of your work, with constant manual syncing between them.
Every task that needs a time slot requires creating it in Todoist, then blocking calendar time in Google Calendar. Every meeting that generates action items means switching to Todoist to capture them. Context gets lost in the handoffs.
When you create a task in TaskLoco, it can instantly become a calendar event. When you schedule something on your calendar, it's automatically a task you can check off. Notes attach to everything, so context never gets lost.
One App, All Your Work
TaskLoco's approach is fundamentally different. Instead of separate systems for tasks and calendar, everything lives in one place. Your task list IS your schedule. Your calendar events ARE your tasks. Notes provide context for both.
Attach files directly to any task or event — no switching to Google Drive or Dropbox. Set reminders that work across tasks, events, and notes with push notifications that deep-link back to the original item. Capture meeting notes and action items in the same place, all connected.
For teams, sharing works like email — send a note to colleagues, they get their own copy to modify as needed. No permission systems or access levels to manage. Everyone stays in sync without the complexity.

$9.99/month per person (currently $4.99/month per person for first 500 charter members with code CHARTER50) TaskLoco includes tasks, calendar, reminders, file storage, and team sharing in one subscription — often simpler and more cost-effective than managing Google Workspace and Todoist Pro separately.
