stand alone
Require no support
Stand alone means to be independent or self-sufficient, not requiring connection to or support from other things.
A stand-alone building sits separate from others.
In computing, stand-alone software runs without needing other programs or a network connection.
Figuratively, something that stands alone is unmatched or in a category by itself: Her performance stands alone in the history of the competition.
