Üksikrakendused

Üksikrakendused, meaning "standalone applications" in Estonian, refers to software programs designed to function independently of other applications or integrated systems. Unlike plugins or modules that require a host program to operate, üksikrakendused are self-contained units of software. They are typically installed directly onto a user's device and can be launched and used without needing to interact with other software components for their primary functionality.

The concept of üksikrakendused encompasses a wide range of software types. This includes desktop applications like word processors, spreadsheets, image editors, and media players. It also extends to mobile applications found on smartphones and tablets, which are inherently designed as üksikrakendused, running on their respective operating systems. Many utility programs, such as file compression tools or system cleaners, also fall into this category. The key characteristic is their ability to perform their intended tasks without relying on a complementary software environment. This independence often makes them easier to develop, distribute, and use for specific, targeted purposes.
