VERIFIED ON MAC Exam Environments

AI Overlay for Konfirme Proctoring on Mac

Updated October 2026 · 3 min read · Tested with LockDown Browser v2.1.6.01

Konfirme is a smaller Indian-origin proctoring stack used for IT certifications, internal upskilling assessments, and some academic finals. Public technical documentation is thin, but the deployment model matches the rest of the Indian browser-extension tier: a Chromium extension paired with a server-side review console.

When public documentation for a proctor is limited, the safe technical assumption on Mac is that it is doing what every other browser-extension proctor does, because Apple does not allow alternatives. The browser uses Chromium capture path, which calls into ScreenCaptureKit on macOS 12.3+ or the legacy CGDisplayStream on older Mac versions. Both APIs read from a per-window-composited buffer that has already removed any window tagged sharingType = none.

On macOS, every notarized app is restricted to the same set of capture APIs, and those APIs all honor the window-privacy flag.

Most deployments use the browser extension only. If a specific exam uses a desktop wrapper, it would still call the same macOS capture APIs.

Stacked proctors all read from the same OS frame buffer on Mac. They share the same blind spot.

Konfirme ML evaluates the captured frames. If the overlay is not in the frames, there is no visual signal for the model to train on or flag.

The Safe macOS Solution

Fracture runs a native floating overlay that sets the macOS window privacy flag. It is 100% excluded from screen capture feeds, window lists, and proctor recordings.
