Open Data Kit

Open-source mobile data collection software for resource-limited settings

Visit Open Data Kit

Open Data Kit is an open-source project that developed mobile data collection software for resource-limited settings. Its work is now maintained through two separate projects, ODK and ODK-X, and the Open Data Kit brand and website are being retired in favor of those projects.

ODK supports offline data collection at scale, while ODK-X targets complex workflows through JavaScript customization, non-sequential navigation, bi-directional synchronization, and on-device data management. The two suites share a history but are run by separate teams. The pages do not describe plans, trials, editions, or pricing.
