THE BEST FREE ALTERNATIVE TO SCHOOL-CHEATS

School ends at 4.
The computer doesn't.

Your school laptop is watching you 24/7 — webcam, microphone, screen, everything. OnWorks puts a full Windows 10 machine inside a browser tab, completely free. What happens in the VM stays in the VM.

SCHOOL SPYWARE: SEES ONLY A TAB

What Your School Can See Right Now

If you're on a school-issued Chromebook or laptop, it's almost certainly running monitoring software — GoGuardian, Securly, Lightspeed, LanSchool. These tools don't clock out at 4 PM. They run as long as the computer does.

Your webcam & microphone
Whenever they like, they can activate them — and nothing is done about it.
Your entire screen, at all times
Doing something personal on "your" computer? The school can see it. Every tab, every app.
Late at night, in your bedroom
Laptop open at 11 PM? On the weekend? That's still their window into your room.
Every keystroke & every site
Your passwords, your DMs, your searches — all logged on their end, forever.
You wouldn't accept a teacher sitting in your bedroom every night. So why accept software that does the same thing? — the entire premise of this page
The Fix: OnWorks

OnWorks is a completely free Windows 10 virtual machine that runs entirely in your browser. No downloads, no installs, no USB drives. You open a tab, you get a full desktop — and when you close the tab, it's gone.

On the school laptop directly
  • Every keystroke logged by monitoring software
  • Browsing history reported straight to admins
  • Screen and webcam accessible remotely, any time
  • Extensions, downloads, and installs blocked
  • Everything stored on THEIR machine
Inside an OnWorks VM
  • Your keystrokes exist on a server, not their laptop
  • The school sees one thing: a browser tab
  • Nothing touches your webcam or your files
  • Full Windows 10 desktop — run what you want
  • Close the tab and nothing ever existed
💡 How it works: The school's spyware lives on the physical machine. An in-browser VM is just pixels inside a tab — the monitoring software can see that a tab is open, but it can't see inside it. They're watching your window while you're in a different building.
Why OnWorks 6 REASONS
Actually 100% Free
No trials, no credit card, no "free tier" nonsense. Launch a Windows 10 VM and just use it.
Runs In Your Browser
Chromebooks, school laptops, library PCs — anything with a browser. Nothing to install.
Zero Traces
Nothing is saved to your actual computer. Close the tab and the session is gone — no history, no files, no evidence.
Full Windows 10 Desktop
Real Windows, real desktop, real apps. Not a stripped-down remote viewer — an actual machine.
Your Privacy, Back
The monitoring software watches the laptop — not the cloud. Your personal stuff stays personal.
No Admin Rights Needed
Can't install anything on your school laptop? Doesn't matter. You're not installing anything.
What About Lockdown Browsers? THE SHORT ANSWER: YES

Lockdown browsers lock down the school's machine.
OnWorks isn't the school's machine.

Lockdown browsers like Respondus work by taking over your laptop — killing tabs, blocking apps, watching your screen, recording your face. They control the hardware because they were installed on it.

A browser-based VM flips that entirely. When your "computer" is a Windows desktop running on a remote server inside a tab, the lockdown software on the host laptop has no idea what's happening inside it.

Just a tab — nothing more visible
INSIDE THE VM
Everything they can't see

The surveillance model assumes you're using their machine. Stop using their machine.

🚨 Be smart. Some lockdown/proctoring setups also use webcam checks, room scans, and behavioral flags on the host machine. OnWorks covers the screen-monitoring side, but understand what your specific setup watches before relying on anything.
How to Get Started ~60 SECONDS
