Cluely, Parakeet, LockedIn AI, and Interview Coder are tools people use to draft answers during interviews and assessments. Honrly started by looking for them. The hiring product now keeps a reviewable note next to the work itself.

01

What those tools are

Cluely, Interview Coder, LockedIn, and Parakeet-style assistants draft or coach answers in real time. Some sit as an overlay. Some help with coding screens. A candidate can keep eye contact and still be reading a hidden prompt. A clean webcam is not proof that the answer was theirs.

02

What the original project looked for

The open-source Honrly app was local-first, for macOS and Windows. It looked for system signals from named assistants such as Cluely, Interview Coder, LockedIn, and Parakeet-style tools. That showed the category was detectable. It did not show that every renamed, recompiled, or second-device workflow could be caught.

03

What Honrly records now

On a written assessment, Honrly records whether the answer was pasted, whether the field was autofilled, and whether the question itself was copied. Those notes sit beside the written or video response, on the same candidate record as the score and the full answer.

That is a narrower record than a desktop process scan, and it is the one the hiring product keeps.

04

A person still reads it

A paste, an autofill, or a copied question is a signal, not a verdict. People paste from their own notes. Flags can be wrong. Honrly does not reject a candidate on its own, and it does not claim to catch every trick. Your team reads the answer and decides whether to advance, ask again, or stop.

05

It lives on the hiring record

Integrity evidence sits next to the application, the assessment, and the review. It is not a separate detector you bolt on after the fact. See the applicant tracking system for the record those notes belong to.

Questions

Good to know.

Ask something else

No. Honrly shows the note beside the answer. A person decides whether to advance, retest, or stop.

No. Honrly does not score someone from their face, accent, or appearance. The notes are about how a written answer was produced.

The open-source desktop app looked for local signals from tools such as Cluely. The hiring product does not do that scan. It records paste, autofill, and question-copy on the assessment.

Those are the products people ask about. The record Honrly keeps is about the answer in front of you, not a promise that every brand name is blocked.

The next candidate is going to apply anyway.
