standalones

Not part of series

Standalones is the plural of standalone—things that function independently rather than as part of a series or system.

In entertainment, a standalone film or novel tells a complete story without requiring familiarity with other installments: I prefer standalones to trilogies.

Software standalones run without additional programs or dependencies.
