LodgeWise is the private app for your Masonic lodge. It was built by a working Mason to take the paperwork off the Secretary's and Treasurer's desks and put the lodge in every Brother's pocket. 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
