No need to be snarky. If it helps someone be more productive then it’s a win, even if they spend 50% scrolling and 50% working.

I haven’t checked the app, but the description says it uses social accountability, focus music and gamification. I’m sure it’s the right combination for some people, even if only for a while (in my experience gamification works only short term).

I'm not being snarky, I just don't understand how it helps solve the problem?

If the problem is that you scroll on your phone, how does an app with a feature where you scroll on your phone solve the problem?

I assume that scrolling through productivity feed of friends is less engaging than scrolling through social media content designed and tailored to you to spend as much time on it as possible.

The app has other features to help with focus and to jumpstart productivity.
