Bruce Hayes's OTSoft
If you give it candidates, constraints, and constraint violations, it gives you a constraint ranking (if there is one) and makes nice tableaux for you.
Also runs Gradual Learning Algorithm and MaxEnt OT

Staubs et al.'s OT-Help
Accepts OTSoft-format input files.
Will rank your constraints in standard OT, but will also give Harmonic Grammar constraint weights--and implements serial versions of both.

Lets you make an OT tableau in a spreadsheet program and then convert it into code you can paste into a LaTeX document.
