Todoist promises to be the ultimate task manager, but many users find themselves drowning in labels, filters, and project hierarchies that complicate simple task management. TaskLoco takes a different approach — combining sticky notes, tasks, reminders, and file attachments in one clean interface that actually makes you more productive.
Instead of forcing you to organize everything into rigid project structures, TaskLoco lets you work naturally with visual sticky notes that can hold anything — a quick reminder, a full project brief, or important files. It's task management that adapts to how you actually think and 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.

Why TaskLoco Beats Todoist for Real Work
Todoist forces you into its project-based thinking, requiring labels, due dates, and filters to find anything. TaskLoco works like your brain actually does — with visual notes you can see, touch, and organize instantly.
Every TaskLoco note can hold text, files, images, and reminders all in one place. No need to jump between tasks, comments, and attachments across different screens. Everything related to a project lives together, making it impossible to lose important details.
The visual wall view lets you see everything at once — no drilling down through project hierarchies or applying filters to find what you need. Your most important work stays visible and accessible.
File Attachments That Actually Work
Todoist's file handling is frustrating — you can attach files to comments, but finding them later requires digging through conversation threads. TaskLoco treats file attachments as first-class citizens, directly embedded in your notes with 10GB of storage included.
Upload contracts, designs, screenshots, or documents directly into any note. Files appear as previews right in the note, making it easy to reference them while working. No separate file browser or attachment hunting required.
The Chrome extension makes this even better — capture any webpage in one click, and it appears as a rich preview in your note with the full content preserved. Perfect for research, competitor analysis, or saving important articles for later.
Team Collaboration Without the Complexity
Todoist's team features come with permission systems, project ownership, and collaboration rules that slow teams down. TaskLoco sharing works like email — send a note to someone, they get their own copy to modify however they need.
No permission management, no access levels, no worrying about who can edit what. Team members can customize shared notes for their own workflow while keeping the collaboration benefits. Changes sync in real-time, so everyone stays updated automatically.
The reminder system delivers push notifications directly to phones and computers, with optional email and SMS add-ons. Unlike Todoist's basic notification system, TaskLoco reminders deep-link back to the original note with full context.
Transparent Pricing vs Hidden Costs
Todoist starts free but quickly hits you with upgrade prompts for basic features like reminders and file uploads. Their premium tiers add complexity with different feature sets and user limits that make budgeting unpredictable.
TaskLoco offers two free tiers — Lite for completely anonymous use (20 notes, no sign-in required) and Lite Plus+ for synced productivity (30 notes across all devices). When you need more, Premium gives you everything — unlimited notes, reminders, file attachments, team sharing, and calendar view.
No per-feature pricing, no surprise charges for storage or team members, no enterprise sales calls required. You know exactly what you'll pay and what you'll get.
