Set clear boundaries
Choose the sites students need. Start device check freezes the roster and checks every device before Begin.
Calm, transparent exam support
A clearer view, without taking control.
Pencils Ready helps teachers notice when a student may need attention during an assessment, while students can see exactly what is shared.

Designed for the real classroom
Enough signal to help.
Enough context to be fair.
Pencils Ready supports a conversation; it never replaces a teacher's judgment.
See the room at a glance
A roster that never reorders. Who is on task, waiting, offline, or worth a quiet check-in.
Review with context
Hostname, time, and duration. Add a note, excuse it, or mark it for follow-up yourself.
Clear to students, by design
Monitoring should never be a mystery.
Before joining, students see what the extension can observe, what it can never access, who reviews the information, and exactly when recording ends.
Read the plain-language privacy promiseWhat can a teacher see?
Which site the student's tab is on, whether the test page is in front, and that a copy, paste, or drag/drop happened (its type and time, never the content), while the device check or the assessment is running.
What stays private?
Page and clipboard content, selected text, form values, where pasted material came from, screenshots, camera, microphone, keystrokes, and browsing history. None of it is ever captured.
When does it stop?
At End. A connected extension stops the moment it hears End; a device that was offline stays closed until End reaches it. Session data is eligible for deletion after 90 days and removed by the weekly purge.
