software applications
Apps on devices
Software applications are programs designed to perform specific tasks for users, as distinct from the operating system that runs the computer itself.
Usually shortened to applications or apps: I downloaded a few applications for editing photos.
The term covers everything from word processors to games to mobile apps, emphasizing that the software serves a practical purpose rather than just making the machine work.
