Everything a Lodge Secretary needs

Lodge Secretary covers the full breadth of lodge administration — from first enquiry to annual returns — in one cohesive desktop application.

LD

Lodge Details

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

MB

Membership

Comprehensive member records with biographical details, contact information, Masonic progression, offices held, photos, dietary requirements, and status tracking — all searchable and filterable.

AT

Attendance

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.

CE

Ceremonies

Automate degree progression tracking and ceremony coordination. Assign officers, generate ceremony programmes, track candidates through their Masonic journey, and maintain permanent records.

DI

Dining

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.

EN

Lodge Enquiries

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.

SU

Summons

Generate and manage lodge summonses with auto-populated attendance, ceremony listings, and officer details. Maintain a complete archive of every summons issued.

MI

Minutes

Create properly formatted meeting minutes automatically — attendance, resolutions, correspondence, and ceremonial records all pulled from your central data. Export as polished PDFs.

IN

Invoicing

Generate and track invoices for subscriptions, dining, and activities. Monitor outstanding balances, send reminders, record payments, and produce financial summaries with full audit trails.

SC

Lodge Schedule

Annual calendar management with optional Google Calendar integration. Plan every meeting, ceremony, LoI, and social event for the year. Export schedules for members or Grand Lodge submissions.

CO

Constitution

Store your lodge’s constitution, by-laws, standing orders, and amendments with complete revision history. Track proposed changes, voting records, and approval dates in one secure location.

LI

Lodge of Instruction

Manage rehearsals, track member attendance, and monitor ritual proficiency levels. Plan ceremony assignments based on demonstrated practice and expertise.

CM

Committee Meetings

Manage charity, house, membership, and finance committees simultaneously. Generate minutes, track action items, assign responsibilities, and record resolutions.

CH

Charities

Record donations, generate tax receipts, process relief applications, manage charitable budgets, and produce Grand Lodge charity returns. Complete, auditable charitable stewardship.

TK

Tickets (Tasks)

Lodge task management with automated reminders. Create, assign, prioritise, and track administrative tasks, welfare follow-ups, and committee actions. No more forgotten action items.

RP

Reports

Generate member directories, attendance analysis, financial summaries, ceremony records, and Grand Lodge returns automatically — from existing data, eliminating duplicate entry entirely.

WA

WhatsApp Integration

Connect your lodge WhatsApp group directly within Lodge Secretary. Share announcements, coordinate ceremonies, and foster fellowship without hunting for contact details.

AI

AI-Powered FAQ

Instant answers to common lodge administration questions. Browse by category, build a custom knowledge base, or ask the built-in AI assistant powered by Google Gemini.

UP

UGLE Portal Import

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.

FM

Digital Form M Coming soon

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.

PP

Lodge Passport (optional)

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.

TD

Treasurer & Dining Secretary Access (optional)

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.

Your data stays on your computer. Full stop.

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!

  • ✓Runs entirely on your computer. Mac or Windows, online or offline — Lodge Secretary works the same either way.
  • ✓Local storage only (IndexedDB). All member records, minutes, and financial data are stored on your machine, not a remote server.
  • ✓No backend server. There is no Lodge Secretary cloud service that could go offline, get hacked, or be shut down.
  • ✓Optional encrypted backups. Export encrypted backup files to an external drive, USB, or cloud storage of your own choosing.
  • ✓Optional read-only online access. Securely view records via Google’s servers without exposing write access.

Attack Surface: Very Low

No Firebase, Firestore, or cloud functions
No user accounts or authentication tokens
No network calls except optional features
No subscription server to be taken offline
GDPR compliant — you control all personal data
Optional AES local encryption at rest
