Most productivity apps demand your email, phone number, and permission to track you across the internet. TaskLoco Lite takes the opposite approach — it's completely anonymous, works fully offline, and never connects to any server.
While other apps claim to be "sign-up free" but still require internet connections and data collection, TaskLoco Lite stores everything in a JSON file on your device. No account. No tracking. No data leaving your phone.
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.

True Offline vs Fake Anonymous
Most "anonymous" productivity apps still require internet connections. They might not ask for your name, but they're collecting device IDs, usage patterns, and IP addresses.
TaskLoco Lite works differently. It's a native iPhone and Android app that stores up to 20 notes in a JSON file on your device. No servers. No syncing. No data collection. Ever.
Apps like SimpleNote claim to be minimal, but they require accounts and sync everything to their servers. Evernote has "offline notebooks" but only after you sign up and download data from their cloud.
What You Actually Get Without Signing Up
TaskLoco Lite includes everything you need for basic productivity: rich text notes, photo attachments, and simple organization. All stored locally on your device.
Compare this to other no-sign-up options like browser-based note apps that lose everything when you clear cookies, or apps like Bear that require subscriptions for basic features.
The 20-note limit keeps the app fast and focused. No endless scrolling through hundreds of abandoned notes. Just your current, active tasks and thoughts.
When Anonymous Actually Matters
Privacy isn't paranoia when you're taking notes about sensitive topics — medical information, financial planning, relationship issues, or work problems you can't afford to leak.
Apps like Notion and Obsidian claim to be secure, but they require accounts and store data on their servers. Even encrypted apps like Standard Notes need sign-ups and can track usage patterns.
For journalists, activists, or anyone in sensitive situations, true offline storage eliminates the biggest privacy risk — server breaches and subpoenas.
Moving Beyond the 20-Note Limit
When you outgrow TaskLoco Lite's 20-note limit, you have two upgrade paths: TaskLoco Lite Plus+ (free, 30 notes, synced) or TaskLoco Premium (unlimited everything).
Lite Plus+ requires a Google sign-in but adds cross-device sync and the Chrome extension for capturing web pages. Premium adds reminders, file attachments, unlimited notes, calendar view, and team sharing.
Unlike apps that trap you with freemium limits, TaskLoco's upgrade path is straightforward — more features, transparent pricing, no surprise charges.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use TaskLoco Lite without any internet connection?
Yes. TaskLoco Lite works completely offline and never connects to any server. You can use it in airplane mode indefinitely.
What happens to my notes if I delete the app?
Your notes are stored locally on your device. If you delete the app without exporting your JSON file first, your notes are permanently lost. Always export before uninstalling.
How is TaskLoco Lite different from other anonymous note apps?
TaskLoco Lite actually stores data on your device only. Most "anonymous" apps still send data to servers — they just don't ask for your name first.
Is there a way to backup TaskLoco Lite notes?
Yes. You can export all your notes as a JSON file and save it to your device or email it to yourself. This is the only backup method since nothing syncs to the cloud.
Can I upgrade from TaskLoco Lite to Premium later?
TaskLoco Lite and Premium are separate apps. You would need to manually recreate your notes or export/import them. $9.99/month per person (currently $4.99/month per person for first 500 charter members with code CHARTER50)
Why is there a 20-note limit in TaskLoco Lite?
The limit keeps the app fast and focused on your most important notes. Most people actively use fewer than 15 notes anyway. If you need more, upgrade to Lite Plus+ (30 notes, synced) or Premium (unlimited).
Does TaskLoco Lite work on tablets and computers?
TaskLoco Lite is only available on iPhone and Android phones. For tablets and computers, use TaskLoco Lite Plus+ (web app) or Premium (all devices).
