SelfControl is a great app on Mac, once you started it, there's nothing you can do to stop it, whether you deleted the app or restart the computer.

SelfControl is a free and open-source application for Mac OS X (10.5 or above) that lets you block your own access to distracting websites, your mail servers, or anything else on the Internet. Just set a period of time to block for, add sites to your blacklist, and click "Start." Until that timer expires, you will be unable to access those sites--even if you restart your computer or delete the application.

Is there any SelfControl like app on Android?

Update

Maybe the *"Especially this app would also work even if you delete the app or restart the smartphone."*restriction is too much, so I reduce those restrictions.

  • The SelfControl dev doesn't seem to be aware of any Android equivalent.

I think you are looking for blocking youtube as any apps you can control using app lock and putting a password on that. Tough password so that you have to look to type not by remembering. If that is the case then use v browser for android as it only allow to search and read information. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.vnspeak.vbrowser&hl=en_IN&gl=US
