Standalone Software

Standalone software can mean:

  • Computer software that can work offline, i.e. does not necessarily require network connection to function
  • Software that is not a part of some software bundle
  • A program that is run as a separate computer process, not an add-on of an existing process, e.g. not a plugin
  • Historically, a standalone program - a program that does not require operating system's services to run
  • A portable application without the need for installation procedure.
