AI Overlay for ProcMonitor / AI-Proctor on Mac
ProcMonitor (marketed at ai-proctor.com as "AI Proctor") is a niche AI-based proctoring product used mostly by technical training providers and smaller certification programs. It runs as a browser-launched lockdown layer that forces incognito full-screen mode and notifies the instructor in real time of any tab, app, or website change.
ProcMonitor architecture is small and explicit: the exam opens in incognito and full-screen, facial verification runs first against a stored ID photo, then a live dashboard lets the instructor watch for events. If the candidate opens any other website (even in a new tab or new window) ProcMonitor screenshots the activity and notifies the instructor; if they switch to an already-open program (a PDF reader, a chat app), the same. The instructor can chat in real time or kick the candidate out. There is no kernel driver, no kernel extension, and no native helper that bypasses Apple screen-capture rules; everything runs in the browser plus a server-side dashboard.
No. The screenshot is taken from the browser screen-capture API, which on Mac obeys window privacy. The overlay window is filtered out before the screenshot is produced.
The overlay does not change browser full-screen state. ProcMonitor full-screen enforcement therefore does not fire.
No. Identity verification compares the live webcam frame to your stored photo. The webcam pipeline is separate from screen capture.
No. The offline cache stores the same screenshots the live mode would have sent, captured through the same filtered API.
Yes. The chat view is a side panel; the exam view it sits next to is built from the same filtered screen-capture frames.

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.
