Most project management apps are built for teams managing complex projects with dependencies, timelines, and multiple stakeholders. But freelancers face a different challenge: juggling multiple clients, deadlines, and deliverables while working solo. You need to capture ideas quickly, track progress simply, and never lose important details.
TaskLoco takes the opposite approach from traditional project management tools. Instead of complex workflows and project hierarchies, it gives you unlimited sticky notes that sync everywhere, with built-in reminders and file attachments. Think digital sticky notes that actually work for running a freelance business.
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.

Quick Capture vs Project Setup
When a client calls with a last-minute request or you have an idea for a proposal, you need to capture it instantly. TaskLoco's approach is dead simple: create a note, add the details, set a reminder if needed. Done in seconds.
Traditional project management tools require you to first create a project, then add tasks within that project structure. Asana wants you to choose between lists, boards, timeline, or calendar view before you even start. Notion requires you to build databases and templates. Monday.com makes you select from dozens of project templates.
For freelancers who work on dozens of small projects simultaneously, this overhead adds up. You spend more time managing your project management tool than actually working.
Client Files and Deliverables
Freelancers deal with constant file sharing — client assets, work-in-progress, final deliverables, contracts, invoices. TaskLoco Premium includes 10GB of file storage with direct attachment to any note. Upload a design mockup, attach the client feedback email, add your revision notes — everything stays together.
Most project tools either charge extra for file storage or have tiny limits. Asana gives you 100MB on their basic plan, then charges $10.99 per user monthly for unlimited storage. Trello charges $5 per user monthly and still caps you at 250MB per file. ClickUp's free plan has 100MB total storage — that's maybe 20 high-res images.
You can also stack storage add-ons if you need more: 50GB, 200GB, up to 1TB. But 10GB covers most freelancers — that's roughly 2,000 high-resolution photos or 40 hours of recorded client calls.
Reminders That Actually Work
Freelancers live and die by deadlines. Miss one client deadline and you lose credibility — and maybe the client. TaskLoco's reminders are built into every note. Set a reminder when you create the task, get notified exactly when you need to act.
The reminders sync across all your devices. Create a task on your phone during a client call, set a reminder for tomorrow morning — it'll pop up on your laptop when you start work. No switching between apps, no forgetting to check your project dashboard.
Traditional project tools either don't have reminders (Trello basic), charge extra for them (Asana), or bury them in complex notification systems that spam you with irrelevant updates. Monday.com sends so many notifications that most users turn them off completely.
The key difference: TaskLoco reminders are tied to individual notes, not abstract project milestones. When the reminder fires, you see exactly what needs to be done and have all the context right there.
Pricing for Solo Workers
Here's where TaskLoco really shines for freelancers: transparent, individual pricing. You pay for yourself — $9.99/month per person (currently $4.99/month per person for first 500 charter members with code CHARTER50)
Compare that to traditional project tools that assume you're managing a team. Asana starts at $10.99 per user monthly for their Starter plan, but you still only get basic features. Their Advanced plan is $24.99 per user monthly. Monday.com starts at $8 per user monthly with a 3-seat minimum — so you're paying for seats you don't use.
ClickUp offers a free plan but severely limits storage and features. Their Unlimited plan is $7 per user monthly but requires annual payment. Notion Personal is free but Notion Plus (needed for file uploads) costs $8 per user monthly.
For freelancers just starting out or working with smaller budgets, paying for unused team features makes no sense. TaskLoco gives you professional-grade task management at a price that works for solo businesses.
