4 Read the Documentation
🚨 CRITICAL:
Read the Controls & Settings Guide and Bypass Guide below BEFORE every exam to avoid last-minute surprises. Many users who skip this step get caught or fail. Don't be one of them.
5 Test It Out!
Before your actual exam, test Bypassify to get comfortable with how it works:
- Practice taking screenshots
- Test the hide/unhide functionality
- Try both GPT models to understand their differences
- Verify everything works as expected
✅ Current Capabilities:
Bypassify v1.5 currently bypasses all versions of Honorlock, Proctorio, and ATI. These services will likely never be able to patch this software.
🔐 Bypass Guide
Screen Recording Bypass
✅ Yes! Bypassify bypasses screen recording. Bypassify bypasses Honorlock's screen recording on all versions of macOS. Just ensure you're using Google Chrome when taking your exam.
What You Can Do
- Screenshots: Fully supported and recommended
- Text Input: Works perfectly in Honorlock
- Multiple Screenshots: Take up to 6 screenshots per request if a question doesn't fit in one
What to Avoid
⚠️ Copying/Pasting:
While you CAN copy/paste, you should AVOID it. All Honorlock exams are screen recorded, and copying/pasting answers will likely get you in trouble. Stick to screenshots instead.
Pre-Exam Checklist
- Test Bypassify functionality BEFORE your exam
- Familiarize yourself with all controls (see below)
- Verify your HWID is properly configured
- Ensure you're using Google Chrome
- Test screenshot and text input features
Troubleshooting
ChatGPT Refusing to Help? Sometimes ChatGPT may detect you're in a proctored exam and refuse assistance. Solution: Hit the trash icon to reset the conversation and try again.
Screenshots Not Getting a Response? Make sure you don't forget to Send to GPT using the down arrow! The paper airplane (text input) button does NOT send screenshots.
⌨️ Controls & Settings Guide
All controls are listed at the bottom of the Bypassify application. You don't need to memorize these, but familiarize yourself with them before your exam.
Keyboard Shortcuts
| Keybind | Function |
|---|---|
| Right Arrow | Hide/Unhide Bypassify instantly |
| Up Arrow | Take a Screenshot |
| Down Arrow | Send captured screenshot(s) to ChatGPT |
| Left Arrow | Change AI Models |
| Cmd + Q | Quit Bypassify |
⚠️ Critical:
Down Arrow is the ONLY way to send screenshots. The paper airplane (text input) button does NOT send screenshots.
AI Model Comparison
Switch between models using Left Arrow
GPT-5
- Smarter responses
- Slower processing
- More accurate results
- Best for complex questions
GPT-5 Nano
- Smart responses
- Much faster processing
- Less accurate on complex tasks
- Best for time-sensitive simple questions
💡 Note:
GPT-5 Nano does not perform well on complex questions/tasks. Use it when you're on a time crunch with simple, direct questions.
Settings Menu
Access settings by clicking the Gear Icon. Close by pressing Esc.
⚠️ AVOID OPENING SETTINGS WHILE TESTING
This may cause weird interactions or trigger flags. Configure settings during practice only.
- Theme: Switch between dark mode, light mode, and custom themes
- Transparency: Adjust transparency to your preference
- Screenshot/Text Context: Add custom instructions (e.g., "Respond within 1 sentence")
💾 Remember: Click Save Settings before exiting the settings menu!
Best Practices
- Use Right Arrow to quickly hide Bypassify if needed
- Take multiple screenshots (up to 6) for long questions
- Use GPT-5 for accuracy, GPT-5 Nano for speed
- Reset conversation (trash icon) if ChatGPT refuses to help
- Always send screenshots with Down Arrow, not text button
- Configure all settings during practice, not during exams
You're All Set! Make sure to test everything before your actual exam. Good luck!
