How MeritTrac monitors your session
MeritTrac is an assessment company offering online and offline proctored testing at scale. Understanding exactly what it watches is the first step to using a tool like Ofradr safely alongside it.
MeritTrac typically relies on a combination of the following signals to flag candidates:
- Online remote proctoring with webcam capture
- Offline and centre-based proctoring options
- Secure browser and navigation lockdown
- AI and human review of flagged sessions
Why Ofradr stays invisible to MeritTrac
Most "AI helpers" are Electron or browser-based apps that show up as a visible window, a new process, or a screen-share layer — exactly the things MeritTrac is built to catch. Ofradr takes a different approach.
Ofradr is a lightweight (~800KB) native overlay rendered at the system compositor level. It is not a browser tab or a shared window, so it does not appear in MeritTrac's screen capture, recordings, or active-window checks. There is no obvious process name, and the overlay can be toggled instantly with a hotkey.
Because the assistance happens off the captured surface, MeritTrac sees a normal, focused candidate while you read solutions, hints, and complexity analysis privately.
Practical tips for MeritTrac proctored assessments
Stealth tooling is only half the equation — behaviour matters just as much when MeritTrac is recording. Keep these habits in mind:
- Keep your eyes on the screen and avoid obvious glances away from the camera.
- Type your answers naturally instead of pasting large blocks at once.
- Read the suggested approach, then write it in your own words and structure.
- Run Ofradr offline with a local model when the environment blocks outbound traffic.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can MeritTrac detect Ofradr?
No. MeritTrac inspects shared windows, browser activity, and screen recordings. Ofradr renders as a native system-level overlay that is excluded from those capture paths, so it does not appear in MeritTrac's monitoring.
Does Ofradr work while MeritTrac is in full-screen lockdown?
Yes. Ofradr's overlay sits above the locked-down environment without interrupting it, so you keep full access to assistance even when MeritTrac restricts other applications.
Is Ofradr free to use with MeritTrac?
Yes, the Ofradr Community Edition is free. Unlike subscription tools such as Cluely ($20/month) or Interview Coder ($19/month), you can use Ofradr at no cost.
Does Ofradr need an internet connection during a MeritTrac session?
No. Ofradr supports local models like Llama and Mistral, so it can run completely offline. Your screen content and prompts never leave your machine.
