Killer application

"Killer app" redirects here. For the video game, see Tron 2.0: Killer App.

A killer application (often shortened to killer app) is any software that is so desirable that it significantly boosts the value proposition of its associated technology, such as its host computer hardware, software platform, or operating system. Consumers would buy the host platform just to access that application, possibly substantially increasing sales of its host platform.
