Configure your lodge’s name, number, consecration date, logo, meeting schedule, and officer appointments. All information auto-populates throughout documents, reports, and communications.

Check off members at each meeting in seconds. Automatic attendance percentages, trend analysis, and welfare-concern flags. Generate professional attendance reports for Grand Lodge returns.
Automate degree progression tracking and ceremony coordination. Assign officers, generate ceremony programmes, track candidates through their Masonic journey, and maintain permanent records.
Complete festive board management from RSVP to payment. Three-course menus, seating plans, protocol-compliant place cards, dietary tracking, per-person cost calculation, and member invoicing.
Turn candidate tracking into an automated pipeline. Record enquiries, assign officers, track progress from first contact to initiation ballot, and send timely follow-ups — nothing falls through the cracks.

As the Secretary of the Lodge, import your members’ records directly from the UGLE Portal into Lodge Secretary instead of typing them in — ideal when you first set up your lodge.
A future feature: Lodge Secretary will take the details of candidates you have found and recorded in Lodge Enquiries and fill in the first part of Form M for you — after that, everything continues through the Met’s own system.
If Brethren use the free Lodge Passport app, they can choose to send you their record in a locked file that only your lodge can open. Lodge Secretary fills in any gaps and shows any differences for you to decide — keeping your records fully up to date, only with each Brother’s permission.
Give your Treasurer and Assistant Secretary their own copy of Lodge Secretary, protected by their own PIN and kept up to date from your encrypted online backups. The Treasurer can work on Invoicing and Reports (and the Cash Book, if you allow it) and see everything else read-only; the Assistant Secretary can be made Dining Secretary and take over the whole Dining function.
Lodge Secretary is a desktop app. There is no cloud server holding your lodge records. No subscription to cancel, no service to go down, no data to be breached remotely....but it is also set up so you can (optionally) open a Lodge gmail account (i.e. mylodgename1234@gmail.com) and store backups there too!
Lodge Secretary exists because its creator sat in the Secretary’s chair and knew there had to be a better way.
Download and use Lodge Secretary at no cost. If you find it valuable, we ask you to consider a £10 per year standing order to our charity chest. No hidden fees, no feature paywalls, no upsells.
