APP file
An application in the Mac. Although the APP file appears to be a single file, it is actually a folder containing other files and is often called an "application package" or "application bundle."

The APP file extension is not just a Mac convention. It is also used with more than a dozen other programs in different operating system environments, including the Symbian OS.
