The various types of software application program that are available for computer systems.

In computing, program or job designed for the benefit of the end user. Examples of general-purpose application programs include word processors, desktop publishing programs, databases, spreadsheet packages, and graphics programs (see CAD and CAM). Application-specific programs include payroll and stock control systems. Applications may also be custom designed to solve a specific problem, not catered for in other types of application.

The term is used to distinguish such programs from those that control the computer (systems programs) or assist the programmer, such as a compiler.
