Your lodge invites you. Once you're in, everything the lodge runs on is in one place. FOR EVERY BROTHER • Directory: search the roster, see who holds which chair, and reach a Brother by phone or email • Calendar: stated meetings, degrees and dinners, with RSVPs, capacity limits and waitlists, reminders, and a subscription link for Apple Calendar • Chat: lodge channels and direct messages with @mentions, reactions and photo or PDF attachments. Report a message or block a member at any time • My dues: your dues status, a digital dues card you can show at the door, and how your lodge takes payment • Documents: bylaws, forms and lodge history, with access set by the lodge FOR OFFICERS • Secretary: meeting minutes from draft to approval, petitions and candidates, emails to the lodge, attendance, annual returns • Treasurer: dues tracking across the roster, expenses with receipt photos and an approval trail • Worshipful Master and Wardens: the officer line, degree scheduling around who is available, and early notice when a Brother stops coming PRIVATE BY DESIGN • Invite-only: each lodge's data is kept separate, and only its members can see it • App Lock with Face ID or your passcode • No advertising and no tracking • LodgeWise never stores ritual or other esoteric material • Delete your account from inside the app at any time
