Desktop App

Definitions

1. An application designed to run primarily on desktop operating systems such as macOS, Windows, or Linux rather than only in a browser or mobile environment. In product culture desktop apps often signal local power, offline capability, or specialized workflows.

   In plain English: An application built to run on desktop computers.

   Example: "They chose a desktop app for the video workflow because file access, local GPU use, and offline work mattered more than instant browser reach."
