by app I suppose you mean a desktop or non-server program?

In my experience, most Erlang applications follow the OTP guidelines for
file organization[0].

Wings3D[1] is a subdivision modeller written in erlang.

Command-line applications are easy, you can use rebar's or gut's[3]
escriptize functionality to create something easily runnable.

You could also separate the interface and structure your application as a
client-server, still following OTP guidelines for layout.
