Emulation Companion is a digital platform for Masonic lodges practising Emulation Working — supporting ritual study, meetings, attendance, dining, finances and pastoral care in one place.
It is independently built and operated in the United Kingdom, developed hand-in-hand with working lodges in Worcestershire to fit how a lodge actually runs — from the Secretary's paperwork to the Treasurer's accounts and the caterer's kitchen sheet.
Most lodge administration still lives in spreadsheets, group emails and paper. Ritual learning still means carrying a printed ritual book. Emulation Companion brings both together: the Secretary manages members, meetings and visitors; the Treasurer keeps the accounts; members study their ritual with audio and prompt mode — each seeing only the degrees they are entitled to.
The platform is built specifically around Emulation Working rather than being a generic membership tool. Study sections follow the structure of the ceremonies, and access follows the degree system.
