OmniFocus built its reputation on powerful task organization for Mac and iOS users willing to pay premium prices. But at $99.99/year for OmniFocus Pro, plus separate purchases for each device, the costs add up fast — especially for teams.
TaskLoco takes a different approach: sticky note simplicity with the task management power you actually need, at a fraction of the cost. No device-specific purchases, no complex project hierarchies, no $100/year price tags.
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.

Pricing That Actually Makes Sense
OmniFocus pricing gets complicated fast. OmniFocus Standard costs $39.99 on Mac, $49.99 on iOS. Want the Pro features? That's $99.99/year subscription. Need it on multiple devices? You're buying separate licenses.
For a team of 5 people, OmniFocus Pro runs $499.95/year. TaskLoco Premium? $9.99/month per person (currently $4.99/month per person for first 500 charter members with code CHARTER50)
The math is simple: TaskLoco costs 83% less than OmniFocus Pro while delivering the core task management features most teams actually use.
Simplicity vs Complexity
OmniFocus proudly offers perspectives, custom project hierarchies, and Getting Things Done methodology integration. That's powerful — and overwhelming. Most people want to capture tasks, set reminders, and share with their team.
TaskLoco nails the essentials: create notes, set reminders, attach files, share with teammates. The interface feels like physical sticky notes — intuitive from day one.
If you're drowning in OmniFocus complexity, TaskLoco strips away the project management theater and focuses on getting things done.
Team Collaboration Built In
OmniFocus treats collaboration as an afterthought. You can publish projects to the web or export to other formats, but real-time team sharing requires workarounds and additional software.
TaskLoco Premium includes full team collaboration: shared notes, real-time updates, email notifications when teammates make changes. Everyone sees the same information instantly.
For teams tired of emailing OmniFocus exports or screenshotting project views, TaskLoco makes collaboration natural and immediate.
Platform Coverage
OmniFocus stays loyal to Apple's ecosystem: Mac, iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch. If your team uses Windows, Android, or Chromebooks, you're out of luck.
TaskLoco works everywhere: native iPhone and Android apps, full web app, Chrome extension. Your Windows-using teammates aren't second-class citizens.
Cross-platform teams need cross-platform tools. TaskLoco delivers consistent functionality whether you're on Mac, PC, iPhone, or Android.
