Install the app on each of your devices, login with same email and password on all your devices and they will be kept in sync.

Chores & Allowance Bot works on iPhone, iPad, or iPod Touch with iOS 12+, and Android phones and tablets with Android 7+. It also works in compatible web browsers on Mac, PC, Chromebook, and some Linux devices.

The app doesn’t have different accounts for parents and children. It uses a parental passcode to protect areas of the app that only parents should have access to. Please keep your parental passcode secret and it will prevent your children from making changes that they shouldn’t make. If you need to change your parental passcode, you can do that from the settings tab.
