Looking to download Todoist? Before you commit to another complex project manager, consider whether you actually need all that complexity. Most teams want simple task capture, reliable reminders, and easy sharing — not elaborate project hierarchies and karma points.
TaskLoco takes the opposite approach: sticky notes that sync everywhere, reminders delivered as push notifications, and team sharing that works like forwarding an email. No training required, no setup complexity, just capture your thoughts and get reminded when it matters.
What to Look for in Task Management Apps
Effective task management comes down to three core needs: quick capture, reliable reminders, and effortless sharing. The best apps get out of your way while handling these basics flawlessly.
Quick capture means turning thoughts into actionable items without friction — no forms to fill out, no categories to choose, no project hierarchies to navigate. Just brain to screen in seconds.
Reliable reminders should reach you where you actually are — on your phone, on your computer — and take you directly back to the original context when you tap them. Email-only notifications get buried in overcrowded inboxes.
Why Sticky Notes Beat Project Hierarchies
Your brain doesn't think in nested project folders and subtasks with dependencies. It thinks in connected ideas, random insights, and contextual reminders. TaskLoco mirrors this natural process with digital sticky notes that you can organize however makes sense to you.
Each note captures everything related to one idea — the task, your thoughts, relevant files, and when you need to be reminded. No artificial separation between projects, tasks, and notes. No forced categorization that breaks your flow.
The Chrome extension captures any webpage in one click, turning research into actionable notes instantly. Attach files directly to notes so context stays connected. Set reminders that deep-link back to the exact note when they fire.
Team Sharing That Actually Works
TaskLoco team sharing works like forwarding an email — recipients get their own copy to modify, complete, or expand without permission layers or access controls. No wondering whether your teammate can edit this or only comment on that.
When you share a note, teammates can clone it into their own workspace and make it their own. They can add their thoughts, attach files, set their own reminders. The original stays yours, the copy becomes theirs — simple ownership, zero confusion.
Reminders reach everyone as push notifications on their devices, with optional email and SMS backup. No buried notifications, no missed deadlines because someone forgot to check the app.
File Storage and Calendar Integration
TaskLoco Premium includes 10GB of file storage built in — attach documents, images, videos, anything you need directly to relevant notes. No separate file management system to learn, no broken links when files move.
The calendar view shows all your notes with due dates in familiar month, week, and day layouts. Add calendar events directly or view everything together — tasks, appointments, deadlines — in one unified timeline.
Extra storage scales from 10GB to 1TB with stackable add-ons. Start small, grow as needed, never lose access to your files because you hit an arbitrary limit.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is TaskLoco better than Todoist for simple task management?
TaskLoco focuses on the essentials — quick capture with sticky notes, reliable push notification reminders that deep-link back, and simple team sharing without permission complexity. If you want straightforward task management without learning complex project hierarchies, TaskLoco delivers faster results. $9.99/month per person (currently $4.99/month per person for first 500 charter members with code CHARTER50)
Can I attach files to TaskLoco notes like in Todoist?
Yes, TaskLoco Premium includes 10GB of file storage built in. Attach documents, images, videos, anything you need directly to relevant notes. Files stay connected to their context instead of living in separate file management systems.
Does TaskLoco work on mobile like the Todoist app?
TaskLoco offers two mobile options: a native Lite app for basic note-taking (20 notes, no sync) and the full web app that works perfectly on mobile browsers. The web app includes all Premium features — reminders, attachments, team sharing, calendar view.
How do TaskLoco reminders compare to Todoist notifications?
TaskLoco reminders are delivered as push notifications to your phone and computer, with optional email and SMS backup. The key advantage: reminders deep-link back to the original note when you tap them, so you get full context instantly instead of just seeing a task title.
Can teams collaborate on TaskLoco like they do in Todoist?
TaskLoco team sharing works differently — when you share a note, recipients get their own copy to modify without permission layers. They can add thoughts, attach files, set reminders. Simple ownership, zero access control confusion. Each team member needs their own subscription.
Does TaskLoco have natural language date input like Todoist?
No, TaskLoco uses manual date/time entry for reminders and due dates. If natural language input like 'tomorrow at 3pm' is important to your workflow, Todoist handles that better. TaskLoco focuses on simplicity over smart parsing.
What happens to my Todoist data if I switch to TaskLoco?
TaskLoco doesn't offer direct Todoist import, so switching means manually recreating important tasks as notes. However, many users find the switch worth it for TaskLoco's simpler capture flow and better reminder system. Start with the 7-day free trial to test your workflow.
