VERIFIED ON MAC Exam Environments

AI Overlay for SecureExam Lockdown Browser on Mac

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

SecureExam is a niche desktop lockdown client used by smaller certification programs and specialized licensure bodies. It runs as a downloadable native Mac app rather than a browser extension, which puts it in the same architectural family as Examplify and SEB.

SecureExam descends from the Software Secure lineage of secure-browser products and is delivered as a notarized Mac binary. Its lockdown approach is conventional for the category: prevent app switching, disable screenshot hotkeys, prompt for the Screen Recording TCC permission if a proctored variant is enabled, and refuse to start when an unknown second display is attached.

No. Apple deprecated kernel extensions for third-party software.

Fracture uses a randomized bundle ID and a benign display name per build.

A proctor receives frames captured by SecureExam itself.

In its proctored variant, yes, through AVCaptureSession.

The Safe macOS Solution

Need reference access during your exam?

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.
