ODK-X Survey

It operates similarly to ODK Collect, but is based on HTML, CSS, and Javascript rather than native Android, and is more flexible in its presentation and execution.

ODK-X Services

An Android app that handles database access, file access, and data synchronization services between all the ODK-X applications. Mostly this happens behind the scenes, but you will need to install ODK-X Services as a prerequisite to using the other ODK-X tools. It also allows you to sync data collected by the ODK-X tools with an ODK-X Cloud Endpoint.
