What are some examples Desktop Apps?
Desktop apps come in a wide rage, these can be simple applications like Calculator, Notepad (Windows) or TextEdit (MacOS), to something slightly more complex like a Point of Sale program, a calendar or email client, or much more complex like Microsoft Office, or Adobe Photoshop. The possibilities are endless.
Benefits of desktop applications
Resource Intensive. Applications that require computing complex logic or are resource intensive can utilize the greater CPU speed/cores and larger RAM that a desktop or laptop computer can offer.
Offline Use (well usually). Since a desktop application is installed locally to the computer, the application is not dependent on access to the internet or network. (Unless your application design is communicating with web based resource like payment processors or online databases)

1 Views and Screens Definition - "Views" and "Screens" refer to the software equivalent of pages. A view or screen is defined as any unique interface or display within the application. This includes the initial screen presented when the app is opened, as well as each distinct screen accessed through button clicks, link selections, menu navigation, or other in-app interactions. For billing, subscription, and feature allocation purposes, each unique view or screen is counted individually.
