We don't need blob detection to tell us the game is running, but one of the core features of Temper is that it doesn't block you while you're in the middle of the game. To do that, we need to know when the game ends which we do by capturing the game screen and detecting when UI elements corresponding to the end of the game show up. Definitely not all gamers needs an app like Temper, but we have noticed a fair number of people (including ourselves) benefit from the additional nudge to not play that extra game or two and go to bed instead. To your last question - we do think that we can both be for-profit and build an app to help people. One similar model that we often think of is apps like MyFitnessPal - a tech company built to help people lose weight. All good questions, thanks!
