Game Session Guard for PC

A Windows/macOS app that enforces hard, customizable limits on multiplayer game sessions using a tamper-resistant schedule, escalating friction (cooldowns, forced logoff windows), and accountability check-ins. It focuses on blocking the specific high-risk pattern (late-night queue-based multiplayer) while allowing planned leisure and protecting developer-focused evening blocks. The product integrates with OS-level controls and optionally with Steam/Epic/Battle.net running-process detection to enforce time windows without relying on willpower.

Target customer

Remote knowledge workers and indie game developers who repeatedly lose late-night hours to competitive multiplayer games and need enforceable boundaries to protect sleep and evening creative time.

Problem-solution fit

Users already know the behavior is harmful but fail to self-regulate; the pain is daily/weekly recurring and causes lost sleep and productivity. Existing screen-time tools are easy to bypass on PC and are not tailored to multiplayer session loops ("one more match" dynamics). Enforceable time windows, pre-commitment locks, and session-aware cutoff rules directly address the specific trigger (late-night multiplayer) and protect a planned schedule.
