12. ODK Build
ODK Build is a form designer with a drag-and- drop user interface. Build is an HTML5 web application and works best for designing simple forms.
For more powerful form designers, try XLS2XForm, Vellum, or Kobo, or PurcForms.

13. ODK Collect
ODK Collect renders forms into a sequence of input prompts that apply form logic, entry constraints, and repeating sub-structures. Users work through the prompts and can save the submission at any point. Finalized submissions can be sent to (and new forms downloaded from) a server. Currently, ODK Collect uses the Android platform, supports a wide variety of prompts (text, number, location, multimedia, barcodes), and works well without network connectivity.

14. ODK Aggregate
ODK Aggregate provides a ready-to-deploy server and data repository to:
provide blank forms to ODK Collect (or other OpenRosa clients),
accept finalized forms (submissions) from ODK Collect and manage collected data,
visualize the collected data using maps and simple graphs,
export data (e.g., as CSV files for spreadsheets, or as KML files for Google Earth), and
publish data to external systems (e.g., Google Spreadsheets or Google Fusion Tables).
