I haven’t checked the app, I just saw screenshots. In my opinion the leaderboard is a bad idea, especially global one. It will be unachievable by vast majority of your users, and may lead to toxic behaviours such as working for 12h/day. It will also remind others how bad their productivity is, possibly causing more stress and self-blaming.

Think about something else than gamification. In my experience and the experience of our users (https://workmode.net/) gamification very quickly stops to work.

I wish you all the best as I know how devastating procrastination may be. Stay productive:-)
