Linear built an impressive tool for engineering teams who think in sprints and cycles. But most teams just need to get work done without learning a new methodology.
TaskLoco takes the opposite approach. Every task is a sticky note you can move, group, and share instantly. No training required, no complex workflows, just visual organization that makes sense the moment you see it.
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.

Visual Organization That Actually Makes Sense
Linear organizes everything around issues, cycles, and project hierarchies. You need to understand their system before you can be productive.
TaskLoco works like your desk. Each task is a sticky note you can arrange however makes sense to you. Group related tasks together, spread out your priorities, or stack everything by deadline. The organization emerges naturally from how you work, not from how the software thinks you should work.
This visual approach means new team members start contributing immediately. They see the wall of tasks and understand instantly what needs attention.
Files and Context in Every Task
Linear treats attachments as secondary. You create an issue, then separately add files if needed.
TaskLoco puts everything together from the start. Every sticky note can hold images, documents, screenshots, and links. Planning a website redesign? The mockups live right in the task note. Client feedback? Screenshot it directly into the relevant task.
Your Chrome extension captures any webpage in one click, turning research into actionable tasks instantly. No switching between tools, no separate file storage, no hunting through attachments.
Reminders That Actually Remind You
Linear assumes you live in their app and check it regularly. Most people don't work that way.
TaskLoco sends email reminders when tasks are due. You get notified whether you're in the app, at lunch, or focused on something else entirely. Set reminders for any date and time, and TaskLoco makes sure nothing falls through the cracks.
The calendar view shows everything due this week, this month, or any timeframe you choose. No complex queries, no filtered views to set up — just your tasks arranged by when they matter.
Team Sharing Without Permission Headaches
Linear's team features assume everyone thinks like a product manager. You assign issues, set priorities, and manage workflows.
TaskLoco sharing works like email. Send any task to a teammate, and they get their own copy to work with however they want. No permissions to set up, no access levels to manage, no wondering if someone can see your updates.
Team members receive push notifications with optional email & SMS notifications available when tasks are shared with them. They can edit their copy, add their own files, set their own reminders. Everyone stays in sync without complex collaboration rules.
