A desktop application is a software program designed to run on a personal computer or laptop, utilizing the operating system's resources directly. Unlike web applications, which operate through a web browser, desktop applications are installed locally and can function without an internet connection. They often provide a richer user interface and enhanced performance for tasks such as productivity, multimedia, and gaming. Examples include word processors, spreadsheets, and graphic design software.
