[ODK Collect](https://github.com/getodk/collect) is officially developed and maintained by members of this community.

[Kobo Collect](https://github.com/kobotoolbox/collect) is a fork of the official ODK Collect for use with Kobotoolbox.

In terms of the tech stack both projects use similar technologies Javarosa, XForms ....
