I also am not aware of any Apple II tools for GEOS. When I asked for
permission to reproduce the manuals for the program in 2002, Breadbox
Computer did not mention anything about tools for the Apple ][. I
know that there are things for the C-64 where it has a much larger
following, but for the Apple ][, I believer there is just the base
packages - Write, Calc, Publish.
