LockDown Browser
LockDown Browser by Respondus is a specialized web browser used by educational institutions to prevent cheating during online exams and assessments. The app locks down the computer during testing, preventing students from accessing other applications, websites, or system functions while taking an exam. It's commonly integrated with learning management systems like Canvas, Blackboard, and Moodle. Students are typically required to install LockDown Browser when their school uses it for secure online testing, and it's widely used across universities and colleges for maintaining academic integrity during remote or computer-based exams.

1 suggestionBased on the available information, Respondus LockDown Browser appears to still be actively maintained and distributed by educational institutions, but there's no clear evidence of a native Apple Silicon version being released. Since this is institutional software that students are required to use (rather than choose), there are no practical alternatives - if your school requires LockDown Browser, you must use it. The app should continue to work through Rosetta 2 translation on Apple Silicon Macs. Contact your institution's IT support or check with Respondus directly for updates on Apple Silicon compatibility, as they would be the most reliable source for current development status.
