Evernote wants you to build a digital filing cabinet. TaskLoco wants you to get things done. The difference matters more than you'd think.
While Evernote focuses on capturing and organizing information into notebooks and tags, TaskLoco treats every note like a sticky note on your wall — visible, actionable, and impossible to forget. One approach turns you into a digital librarian. The other helps you actually finish your work.
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.

The Core Philosophy: Notes vs Tasks
Evernote treats everything as a note in a notebook. You capture information, file it away, and hope you remember to look for it later. It's digital hoarding with better search.
TaskLoco treats everything as an actionable sticky note. Every note sits on your wall until you complete it or consciously dismiss it. Nothing disappears into folders. Nothing gets forgotten in the depths of a notebook hierarchy.
This isn't just a design choice — it's a productivity philosophy. When something lives on your wall, you can't pretend it doesn't exist. You either do it, delegate it, or decide it wasn't important. Evernote lets you postpone that decision indefinitely by filing things in notebooks you'll never revisit.
Built-In Reminders vs External Scheduling
Evernote can store your thoughts, but it can't tap you on the shoulder when something's due. You need separate reminder apps, calendar entries, or external systems to actually get things done.
TaskLoco builds reminders directly into every note. Set a time, get notified, mark it done. No context switching between apps. No forgetting to set up external reminders. No wondering if you remembered to schedule that important task.
The calendar view shows your notes by due date, creating a natural workflow from capture to completion. Evernote users end up building complex systems with multiple apps to recreate what TaskLoco does natively.
Team Sharing That Actually Works
Evernote's business features involve complex permissions, shared notebooks, and access controls that require training sessions. TaskLoco team sharing works like email — simple, familiar, immediate.
Share any note by entering email addresses. Recipients get the note in their TaskLoco account and can make it their own. No permissions to manage. No access levels to configure. No corporate account requirements.
The shared note becomes a real note in the recipient's account, not just a read-only reference. They can modify it, set their own reminders, attach their own files. It's collaboration without the complexity overhead that makes Evernote business features feel like enterprise software.
File Attachments vs Web Clipper Bloat
Evernote encourages you to clip entire web pages, creating a database of half-remembered articles you'll never read again. TaskLoco focuses on the files that actually matter for your current projects.
TaskLoco Premium gives you 10GB of file storage for documents, images, and project files that connect to specific tasks. Attach a contract to the note about reviewing it. Attach screenshots to the note about fixing a bug. Attach a photo to the note about that home repair.
The Chrome extension lets you save specific text or images to TaskLoco notes with one click. But unlike Evernote's web clipper, it doesn't encourage digital hoarding. You save content because it's relevant to a specific task, not because it might be useful someday.
