As far as I know, JavaScript is a general purpose language but mostly it is used for Web Applications.
I am curious to know whether anyone is using JavaScript for non-Web apps. Also, are there any tools available for non-Web application development?

JavaScript isn't only used to create websites. It can also be used to build browser-based games and, with the help of certain frameworks, mobile apps for different operating systems.
Yes, JavaScript can be used without html. Node is another option. JavaScript was originally a web scripting language until node js was introduced.
JavaScript frameworks are the best choice for mobile app development as they can be used across several platforms such as iOS, Android and Windows.
js can be used for building web, mobile, and desktop applications. Although it does not build desktop apps on its own, it can be used with Cordova or other similar tools to produce them.
There's a reasonable list here: for example, it points out that Javascript can be (and is;-) used for the purpose of scripting such non-web apps as Photoshop and OpenOffice.org. On the same wikipedia page you'll find pointers to several stand-alone Javascript interpreters (i.e., ones that are not part of web browsers) and specs for making e.g. your Java non-web apps more easily scriptable by Javascript (via a Rhino-derived stand-alone interpreter).
