Utility software
system software designed to help analyze, configure, optimize or maintain a computer
In computing, a "utility" is a program[1][2][3] or module which is used to give a general-purpose result, for many different uses. A utility is intended for a wide range of users, rather than an "app" (application program) which might be intended to serve a specific purpose for specific users.
For example, a utility program may handle computer files or guard against computer viruses.
