ClickUp promises to replace every app you've ever used. The result? A Swiss Army knife so loaded with features that finding the screwdriver takes longer than fixing what's broken. TaskLoco takes the opposite approach: do the essential things perfectly instead of doing everything poorly.
Where ClickUp drowns you in dashboards, views, automations, and customizations, TaskLoco gives you digital sticky notes that actually stick to your workflow. Simple capture, instant reminders, seamless sharing. The complexity you don't need stripped away to reveal the productivity you've been looking for.
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.

Why Simple Beats Feature-Heavy
ClickUp's philosophy is "why use five tools when one can do it all?" The answer: because that one tool becomes five times harder to use. TaskLoco's philosophy is different: master the fundamentals first.
TaskLoco gives you notes, tasks, reminders, calendar, and file sharing without the learning curve. No custom fields to configure, no automation rules to debug, no views to customize. You write it down, set a reminder, share with your team. Done.
This isn't about being basic—it's about being intentional. Every feature in TaskLoco serves a clear purpose: capture thoughts, organize work, remember deadlines, collaborate with others. No feature exists just to fill a comparison chart.
Real Team Sharing Without the Overhead
ClickUp's team features come with a manual thicker than most college textbooks. Permissions, roles, spaces, folders, lists, views—each with their own settings and restrictions. TaskLoco team sharing works like email: you share a note, they get it, they can work with it.
When you share a TaskLoco note, the recipient gets their own copy to modify, complete, or ignore without affecting your original. No permission matrices to manage, no access levels to remember. Just share and collaborate.
The Chrome extension makes this even smoother—capture any webpage, add your thoughts, share with your team in seconds. No need to create a task, assign it to a project, set a priority level, and configure notification settings. Capture, contextualize, collaborate.
Files and Reminders That Just Work
ClickUp's file handling involves uploads, attachments, proofing, version control, and approval workflows. TaskLoco's approach: drag file to note, file attaches, team can access. 10GB of storage included, expandable when needed.
Reminders in TaskLoco fire when they're supposed to, where they're supposed to. Set a time, get notified. No complex automation builder, no trigger conditions, no IF-THEN logic trees. Calendar integration shows everything in one clean timeline view.
The mobile experience showcases this simplicity perfectly. TaskLoco Lite runs natively on your phone with 20 notes stored locally—no sign-in required. For full features, the web app works seamlessly in any mobile browser. No separate mobile configuration, no reduced functionality warnings.
Pricing That Makes Sense
ClickUp's pricing structure requires a calculator and a decision tree. Unlimited users but limited everything else, unless you upgrade, but then some features require another upgrade, and enterprise features need a sales call.
$9.99/month per person (currently $4.99/month per person for first 500 charter members with code CHARTER50)
Every premium subscription includes everything: unlimited notes, 10GB storage, reminders, calendar, team sharing, push notifications with optional email & SMS notifications available. No feature gates, no usage limits, no surprise upgrade requirements. The 7-day free trial lets you test everything without restrictions.
