A computer widget is a small, interactive mini-application or tool that runs on a desktop, mobile device, or website to provide quick access to information or functionality. Examples include weather displays, stock tickers, and social media feeds, which allow users to perform tasks or view dynamic content without opening the full application. Widgets are designed to be convenient and enhance the user experience by making common features more accessible.
