applet
Tiny embedded software
An applet is a small application program designed to perform a specific, limited task.
The term emerged with Java applets—programs that ran within web browsers—though that technology has largely faded.
The word now applies to any lightweight program embedded in a larger system: a weather applet on your phone's home screen.
