There is also the kobo for Missing Maps tool:

It's less visual, unless used in combination with OSMAnd or maps.me, but
the workflow for getting data into OSM is working... It's not completely
'without internet' but once the app and form are downloaded, the data
collection can be done completely offline. Does need a small amount of data
to submit the points of interest to the server once they are collected, of
course...
