How Kids Access Tasks ’n Chores (Hint: You Don’t Need a Family Tablet)

A surprisingly common assumption we hear is this: “Sounds great, but we don’t have a family tablet.”

Good news: you absolutely do not need one.

Tasks ’n Chores is built to fit into real family life. Not the idealized version where every household has a shared iPad mounted on the wall, but the messy, flexible, whatever-works reality most families live in.

Let’s break it down.

Tasks ’n Chores Works Wherever There’s a Screen (and a Browser)

Tasks ’n Chores is available as an app in both the Apple App Store and Google Play. But it doesn’t stop there.

The app is also fully accessible through any modern browser.

That means your kids can access their tasks on:

  • A parent’s phone
  • Their own phone or tablet (if they have one)
  • A shared family tablet
  • A laptop or desktop computer
  • Yes, even something like a Raspberry Pi with a browser

If it can open a website, it can run Tasks ’n Chores.

No special setup. No specific device required.

Kids Don’t Need Their Own Device

This part matters.

Many families start out with kids accessing Tasks ’n Chores on a parent’s phone. The child checks their tasks, marks something as done, and hands the phone back. That’s it.

Others use a shared tablet that lives in the kitchen or living room. Some kids use their own tablet. Some families mix it all depending on the day.

There is no “right” setup.

The system is designed so access can shift naturally as your family’s needs change.

One Account, Multiple Ways In

Parents set everything up. Tasks, goals, rewards, points, stars, money, whatever model your family prefers.

Kids simply log in with the Family PIN and do the doing.

They don’t need:

  • An email address
  • Their own app store account

They just need access.

That simplicity is intentional. Fewer barriers means fewer excuses and fewer “I couldn’t log in” moments.

Designed for Flexibility, Not Screen Time

Tasks ’n Chores isn’t meant to glue kids to a screen. It’s meant to support what happens away from it.

Open app. Check task. Check doer. Close app.

Whether that happens on a phone, tablet, or browser doesn’t really matter. The app adapts to your family, not the other way around.

No Hardware Rules. No Perfect Setup Required.

Some families go all-in with a shared device. Some keep it super low-tech. Some evolve over time.

Tasks ’n Chores works with all of it.

If you have one phone and a busy household, that’s enough.
If you have multiple devices floating around, that works too.
If you like experimenting, sure, put it on a Raspberry Pi and feel clever.

The point is simple: access should never be the thing that stops a family from getting started.

Because chores don’t live on a tablet. They live in real life.
