Narrative:
The day began with a maintenance delay. In ZZZ XXX radio issued us a hold for release clearance about 15 minutes prior to departure. I read the clearance back and wrote down 'hfr' at the bottom of my clearance.once bag loading was complete we started engines taxied; and took off. After takeoff XXX radio called us and asked if we had departed. We then realized we had not gotten ATC release. Nothing further.keep the pacing normal; no need to rush.develop a technique to remind you that you do not have takeoff clearance.on the next leg we also had a hold for release clearance and I put the checklist between the throttles to remind me and verbally repeated 'hold for release' on every radio call on CTAF frequency.
