App/GUI to load multiple files, run them through Matlab functions, then output results

I have never dealt with Matlab GUIs or Apps, and am having trouble finding a good starting point so I want to first see if my intentions are even possible.

Essentially, I need to make a user-friendly, App or GUI that someone with no Matlab experience could use to run code I have written.

Right now, I have a script that takes a list of file names (videos) as an input, then runs each file through 2 functions to output 6 parameters and 1 image per file. The output parameters for each file are then compiled into a larger table that exports into an Excel spreadsheet, and the images are saved locally.

Can I create a GUI or App where the user could copy and paste a list of file names (or select files) and press a button to run them through the functions, then be given the output data either in the GUI window (or just insert the name of an Excel output sheet)?

Also, could this be compiled so that it can be run on a computer without Matlab?

If anyone can point me in the right direction, it would be much appreciated. Right now, I'm just trying to figure out the pros/cons of Apps vs GUIs. If this isn't even possible then I won't waste my time. Thank you!
