How to Use Claude on a Locked-Down Mac (LockDown Browser, Examplify)

Same setup as ChatGPT but pointing at Claude.ai. Claude tends to write more careful prose and admit uncertainty more, which is useful for nuanced essay or analysis questions during a proctored session.

Claude's longer thinking traces and more verbose responses are useful when you have time to read carefully (essay questions) but slower than ChatGPT for quick lookups. The setup is identical: configure URL, sign in pre-exam, toggle with ⌥⇧H. The overlay is invisible to whatever proctor is running; the screen capture, the live stream, and any post-hoc ML pass all see the same filtered frames missing the Claude window region.

Long-form essay prompts, careful technical reasoning, admitting "this depends on..." answers. ChatGPT is faster for straightforward lookups.

On free tier (Haiku), it might. On Pro (Sonnet), unlikely for an exam-length session. Check your usage before exam day.

Yes. Hide overlay, change URL in settings, show overlay. Or pre-configure a hotkey for each.
