Most Android sticky note apps force you online and demand account sign-ups just to jot down a grocery list. TaskLoco Lite gives you 20 notes stored directly on your Android device — completely offline, no sign-in, no data harvesting.
Google Keep dominates the Android sticky note space, but it's actually a cloud service disguised as a note app. Every note requires internet access and Google account authentication. That's fine for some people, terrible for others who want true device-local storage.
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.

Offline vs Cloud-First Architecture
TaskLoco Lite works completely offline on Android. Your 20 notes live in a JSON file on your device — no servers, no accounts, no internet required. Perfect for airplane mode, poor signal areas, or privacy-conscious users who don't want Google tracking every note.
Google Keep is cloud-first. Every note syncs to Google's servers immediately. You can't use it without a Google account and internet connection. The offline mode is just cached data — create new notes offline and they won't save until you reconnect.
ColorNote offers offline storage like TaskLoco, but limits you to basic text notes. No file attachments, no rich formatting, no team sharing upgrades available.
File Attachments and Media Support
TaskLoco Premium includes 10GB file storage with every note. Attach photos, documents, recordings — whatever you need. The Android app handles all major file types with secure cloud storage and instant sync across devices.
Google Keep supports images and voice recordings, but file attachment support is limited. You can't attach PDFs, Word documents, or other file types directly. Everything must be converted to Google's formats or linked externally.
For Android users who need to attach receipts, contracts, or reference documents to their sticky notes, TaskLoco Premium delivers full file support that Google Keep can't match.
Team Sharing and Collaboration
TaskLoco Premium enables real-time team sharing on Android. Share specific notes with colleagues, get email notifications when teammates make updates, and sync changes instantly across all devices. Each team member needs their own Premium subscription.
Google Keep offers basic sharing — you can share individual notes with other Google accounts. But there's no real-time collaboration features, no notification system, and no team management tools. It's designed for personal use, not team workflows.
ColorNote has zero sharing capabilities. Notes stay on your device only — no cloud sync, no team features, no collaboration options.
Pricing and Value Comparison
TaskLoco offers two free options: Lite (20 offline notes, no account) and Lite Plus+ (30 synced notes). Premium provides unlimited notes, file attachments, reminders, and team sharing. $9.99/month per person (currently $4.99/month per person for first 500 charter members with code CHARTER50)
Google Keep is completely free with your Google account. No premium tiers, no paid upgrades. But you're paying with your data — Google analyzes your notes for advertising targeting and integrates them into your Google profile.
ColorNote is free with ads, or $2.99 one-time to remove ads. No subscription fees, but also no advanced features, cloud sync, or team collaboration options.
