An applet (little application) is a small software program that sustains a more extensive application program. In the past, the term applet was often connected with the Java programming language. Today, the term is often associated with If This Then That (IFTTT), a no-code/low-code software tool for creating small programs composed of triggers (If This) and actions (Then That).

In computing, an applet is any small application that performs one specific task that runs within the scope of a dedicated widget engine or a larger program, often as a plug-in.[1] The term is frequently used to refer to a Java applet, a program written in the Java programming language that is designed to be placed on a web page. Applets are typical examples of transient and auxiliary applications that don't monopolize the user's attention. Applets are not full-featured application programs, and are intended to be easily accessible.
