Built by students. For students and the schools that teach them.
The story behind why we built the world's first Moodle-native AI proctoring and desktop lockdown system.
“Built by students. Because we know how students cheat — and how to prevent it.”
The Reality of the Modern Exam Hall
As computer science and engineering students, we watched the online examination landscape rapidly deteriorate. When universities shifted to remote and digital testing, they adopted generic browser extensions that claimed to be "AI proctors."
Within weeks, student forums were flooded with simple workarounds. A cheap $15 HDMI splitter could clone an exam screen to a friend in the next room without the browser ever knowing. Virtual webcam software like OBS could loop a 30-second recording of a student nodding at the screen. Hotkeys like Alt+Tab and OS clipboard injectors allowed background AI copilots to answer complex multiple-choice questions in milliseconds.
The result was deeply demoralizing: honest students who spent months studying received lower curved grades than students who deployed trivial hardware bypasses.
Turning Insider Understanding into Stronger Tools
We realized that legacy proctoring companies were failing because they were built by enterprise software committees who hadn't sat in an undergraduate exam in 20 years. They were designing for yesterday's cheating methods while students were already living in the generative AI era.
We built Proctify to close every real-world gap:
- OS-level lockdown that blocks system shortcuts and hotkeys before the OS can route them.
- Continuous display scanning that detects multi-monitor splitters and HDMI hotplug events during tests.
- Live invigilator controls that let professors warn students, listen in with WebRTC audio, or terminate sessions in real time.
- Native Moodle integration that respects the open-source LMS universities already love.
Our Commitment to Higher Education
We don't believe in punitive, predatory software. That is why Proctify charges a fair institutional rate of $1.50 per student per month with no per-exam limits. We want professors to administer as many low-stakes quizzes, midterm checks, and open-book assessments as they need to help students truly master their subjects.

Our Guiding Principles
How we make design and engineering decisions every day.
Academic Fairness First
When cheating runs unchecked, honest students who work tirelessly get penalized by grading curves. We build software to protect the value of fair degrees.
Real Engineering, Not Gimmicks
We don’t claim to have "unbreakable AI magic." We use kernel-level OS hooks, hardware display verification, and reliable multimodal frame checks.
No Predatory Per-Exam Fees
Education shouldn’t be taxed per quiz attempt. Our predictable $1.50/student/month model empowers professors to quiz frequently without financial penalties.
Respect for Student Privacy
We never sell biometrics, train third-party public AI on student faces, or hold videos indefinitely. University institutions own 100% of their data.
