software application

Downloadable digital tool

A software application is a computer program designed to perform specific tasks for users, as opposed to system software that runs the computer itself.

Commonly shortened to application or app: I downloaded a weather application, There's an app for that.

Word processors, web browsers, and games are all software applications.
