AI Overlay for Inspera Exam Portal on Mac

Inspera is the assessment platform used across Norway, the Netherlands, the UK, and increasingly Spanish universities for high-stakes finals. Most Inspera exams run inside Safe Exam Browser (SEB) configured to point at the institution's Inspera portal.

Inspera ships a desktop "Inspera Exam Portal" wrapper for Mac plus configurable proctoring through partners (Examity, ProctorExam, IRIS Connect). The wrapper is a Chromium-based shell that disables app switching and copies SEB's session-level lockdown. Crucially, all of these surfaces use Apple's standard screen-capture APIs, every one of which respects per-window exclusion. Fracture sets that flag, so even when SEB blocks Cmd-Tab or screenshots, the overlay window simply does not appear in any frame the proctor receives.

It blocks Cmd-Tab, Cmd-Q on the exam window, and screenshot hotkeys. Fracture uses a global Carbon hot-key (Ctrl-Cmd-L) that survives these blocks because it registers below the application layer.

The overlay is invisible to the recording, but using AI for graded work is a policy violation at most institutions. We do not advise using it for graded assessments where AI is forbidden.

No. Fracture is self-contained. Install Inspera Exam Portal as your university directs, then launch Fracture separately and toggle with Ctrl-Cmd-L.
