web applications

Online software tools

Web applications are software programs accessed through a web browser rather than installed on a device.

Unlike traditional desktop software, they run on remote servers and deliver their interface over the internet: Gmail is a web application, I built a web application for tracking inventory.

The term often shortens to web apps.

They range from simple tools to complex platforms handling banking, collaboration, or social media.
