lodges in one US jurisdiction couldn't confer degrees, because members didn't know the ritual.
Grand Lodge of Nebraska review of 130 lodgesKeep the work alive
in every lodge.
One approved voice for your jurisdiction, in every brother's pocket. For Grand Masters, Grand Secretaries, Custodians of the Work and the bodies they lead.
The work is only as strong as the brothers who know it.
Every Grand Lodge sees the same pattern: fewer members, the same few faithful ritualists carrying every degree, and new brethren who want to take part but can't find the time to learn from a book.
Ontario's Grand Chapter asked companions to make a more concerted effort to memorise the ritual, warning that work read aloud costs chapters their candidates.

Grand Lodge of Ontario proceedingsGrand Lodges already provide official ritual apps to verified members. The question is no longer whether, but how well and how safely.

One approved version
Your official work, correctly pronounced, in the voice you choose. No more photocopied ciphers or private recordings.
Every lodge in step
Every brother practises the same wording between rehearsals and Lodges of Instruction, so the work is uniform across your jurisdiction.
Proficiency you can see
See which lodges are practising and how the work is being learned, without reading any brother's private practice.
Protected, and withdrawable
Only verified brethren, only their degrees, locked on their phones, and withdrawn the moment membership ends.

Only your official text. The right degree for the right brother. Access ends when membership does.
Locked on the phone
A passcode set by the lodge, fingerprint or face unlock, and no screenshots of the work.
Nothing to forward
No downloads on the web. Offline copies are encrypted, locked to one phone and stop working if access ends.
Accountable
The brother's name on the screen, a lost phone removed remotely, and a record of every access.

An honest word. No technology replaces a brother's obligation, and no app can stop someone recording a speaker with another device. What unCued adds is verification, a lock and the power to withdraw access, none of which a printed book has. Read the full protection page.

Questions
The questions Grand Lodge officers ask. If yours isn't here, ask it in your briefing.
Who owns the recordings and the text?
Your jurisdiction does. unCued carries the work under licence from your Grand Lodge, and you can withdraw it at any time. When you do, it disappears from every brother's phone.
What happens when a brother demits, is suspended or passes away?
His access ends. The Secretary removes it, or it ends automatically when your rolls show him no longer in good standing, and any offline copy stops working.
Can we see usage without seeing brethren's private practice?
Yes. Officers see engagement and proficiency by lodge and district. A brother's own practice stays private to him and his lodge.
Does it replace Lodges of Instruction or mentors?
No. It makes them more productive. Brethren arrive having done the repetition, so instruction and mentoring time goes to meaning, polish and floor work.
Is it suitable for older brethren?
Yes. It works like a simple audio player: press play, listen, repeat. Large controls, the screen can stay off, and it plays through the car.
Have other jurisdictions done this?
Yes. Grand Lodges already provide official ritual apps to members verified by membership number. unCued adds phrase-by-phrase learning, degree-by-degree access, officer dashboards and appendant bodies on one platform.
Can our work be hosted in Canada?
Yes. We can host your jurisdiction's work in Canada, or in your own country, as part of your licence.
What does it cost?
It depends on how you'd like to provide it: a Grand Lodge licence, lodge seats, or members subscribing at $29.99 a year. We'll prepare a proposal for your jurisdiction after a briefing.
