You find the perfect article for your project. Now what? Open a new tab, log into your notes app, create a new note, copy the URL, paste it, add a title, maybe grab a screenshot, save it, close the tab, go back to browsing. Five minutes later, you've forgotten what made that article useful.
TaskLoco's Chrome extension solves this with one click. Highlight text, click the extension, boom — saved with context, title, and URL automatically. No tab switching, no copy-paste dance, no lost thoughts.
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.

How the TaskLoco Chrome Extension Actually Works
Install the extension from the Chrome Web Store. That's it — no configuration, no account setup required for basic use. When you find something worth saving, you have three options:
Option 1: Click the TaskLoco icon in your toolbar. It grabs the page title, URL, and any text you've highlighted, then creates a note instantly.
Option 2: Highlight specific text first, then click the extension. Your selection becomes the note content, with the page URL and title attached automatically.
Option 3: Right-click highlighted text and select 'Save to TaskLoco' from the context menu. Same result, different path.
Everything syncs instantly across your phone, computer, and web dashboard. No manual organization required — your research lives in chronological order by default, but you can search, filter, and tag as needed.
Why Manual Bookmarks Fail for Research
Browser bookmarks seem convenient until you actually try to use them for research. You bookmark a page, but three weeks later you have no idea why it mattered. Was it for the pricing section? The technical specs? That one quote in paragraph four?
Bookmarks also live in browser limbo. They don't sync with your project notes, can't be shared with teammates, and offer zero context about why you saved something. Plus, if the webpage disappears or moves, your bookmark becomes useless.
Manual note-taking isn't much better. Open your notes app, create a new note, copy the URL, switch back to the browser, copy relevant text, switch back to notes, paste everything, add your own context. By the time you're done, you've lost your research flow completely.
Advanced Research Features with Premium
The free TaskLoco Lite Plus+ gives you 30 synced notes and the Chrome extension. For serious researchers, Premium adds the tools that matter:
File attachments: Drag PDFs, screenshots, or documents directly into your research notes. Each Premium account includes 10GB storage, expandable to 1TB with add-ons.
Reminders: Set follow-up reminders on research notes. 'Review this competitor analysis next Friday' or 'Check back for Q4 earnings results.'
Team sharing: Share research findings with colleagues instantly. They see your captured web content, attached files, and annotations in real-time.
Calendar integration: Research deadlines and follow-ups appear in your TaskLoco calendar view alongside other tasks.
Each team member needs their own Premium subscription to access shared research and team features. The pricing scales per person, not per team size.
Research Workflow: Extension to Action
Here's how TaskLoco transforms research from scattered bookmarks into actionable insights:
Capture phase: Use the Chrome extension to grab articles, competitor pages, industry reports, and reference materials. Each note includes the source URL, capture date, and any text you highlighted.
Organize phase: TaskLoco's search finds content across all your notes and attachments. Looking for 'pricing strategy'? It searches your captured web content, your own annotations, and attached file names.
Action phase: Set reminders to revisit important research. Share findings with teammates using team notes. Attach follow-up documents and analysis to the original captured content.
Archive phase: Unlike bookmarks that go stale, your TaskLoco research notes preserve the content as it existed when you captured it. Websites change or disappear, but your research stays intact.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the TaskLoco Chrome extension work without an account?
The extension requires TaskLoco Lite Plus+ (free with Google sign-in) or Premium for syncing across devices. TaskLoco Lite (no account required) only works on mobile apps without browser extension support.
Can I capture entire webpages or just highlighted text?
The extension captures page titles, URLs, and any text you highlight before clicking. It doesn't save full webpage screenshots or complete page content — just the elements you select plus metadata.
How much does TaskLoco Premium cost for research features?
$9.99/month per person (currently $4.99/month per person for first 500 charter members with code CHARTER50)
Does the extension work in other browsers besides Chrome?
Currently, the TaskLoco extension only works in Chrome and Chromium-based browsers. Firefox and Safari users need to use the web app directly for saving research content.
Can I share captured research with teammates?
Team sharing requires TaskLoco Premium. You can share individual research notes or entire projects with real-time updates. Each team member needs their own Premium subscription for full access.
What happens if a website I captured gets deleted?
TaskLoco preserves the content you captured (highlighted text, title, URL) even if the original website disappears. However, it doesn't save complete webpage backups — just the specific content you selected.
How many research notes can I save with the free extension?
TaskLoco Lite Plus+ (free) allows 30 synced notes total. TaskLoco Premium offers unlimited notes, plus file attachments, reminders, and team sharing features.
