I will guess
time
You check me when you are bored,
People check the time when they are bored with something and want to get it over with.
You use me when you are hungry,
Not too sure - maybe refers to the fact that most people eat their meals at set times? Or maybe that you use time a lot in cooking?
You find comfort in me when you are tired.
When it is late, you find comfort that you can go to bed after a long day.
I would have even taken you to the answer, but not anymore.
Eventually, over time, the answer will be revealed, but since I'm posting it now, you no longer need to wait!

I'm going to guess that it is:
A mobile phone
You check me when you are bored
We fiddle with our phones when bored or when we have nothing better to do
You use me when you are hungry
Presumably to order out
You find comfort in me when you are tired
We use our phone for music/movies/games and similar forms of entertainment
I would have even taken you to the answer
We can use our phones to search the Internet for answers to myriad questions
but not anymore
This one has me stumped.
But I'm going to guess that instead of searching for the answer using my phone I'm now wracking my brains for the right answer, hence the phone per se is useless as I'm staring off into space.

$\begingroup$ Mobile phone can literally be a solution for any riddle here as you can do anything with a mobile phone nowadays (and if that's not enough, you can change the answer to a "future mobile phone" and then you're unlimited at all) $\endgroup$– YankoJan 6, 2018 at 17:31

If I am bored, all I can do is to check myself. When I am hungry, it's me, who has to eat. When I am tired, I am going to rest. As soon as I realise, that I am the answer, there is no you anymore. I am the answer!

I think
Neurotransmitter
You check me when you are bored
Might be the dopamine check at the time of boredom.
You use me when you are hungry
Hunger and satiety is regulated by a neurotransmitter as per this link
You find comfort in me when you are tired.
We find comfort in sleep/rest when we are tired. neurotransmitter plays an important role in sleep.
I would have even taken you to the answer, but not anymore.
Of course neurotransmitters play important roles in decision making.
But not anymore : It cannot, because we already got the answer.
The Title : What not have I done for you?
Neurotransmitters are what tell your heart to beat, lungs to breath, and stomach to digest. Overall they play an important role in our body. Reference.

I'm pretty sure about it,
The Internet
You check me when you are bored
The Internet is the first priority nowadays whenever we get bored. We use Facebook, Instagram and so on.
You use me when you are hungry
Surely we use our internet to order some food whenever we are hungry and don't wanna cook.
You find comfort in me when you are tired
After the tiredness of the whole day, we find comfort using the internet, spend our time on the internet, and rest.
I would have even taken you to the answer, but not anymore.
With the help of the internet, I came up here to answer, which was not possible with anything else.

Is it:

My guess is
hand
You check me when you are bored
To check the time on our watch
You use me when you are hungry
Obvious
You find comfort in me when you are tired
We rest our head on our hands
I would have even taken you to the answer, but not anymore.
We could have used our hand to google the answer, but that is not possible as this is an original riddle.
