Planning: Tiimo
Tiimo's publisher lists planning tools, to-do lists and a focus timer in the free version. AI task breakdown, custom widgets and advanced scheduling are Pro features. Its seven-day Pro trial is different from the ongoing free tier.
Try adding one appointment and the steps needed before leaving home. Check that the features you rely on remain available when a trial ends. The publisher lists iOS, iPadOS, watchOS, Android and web availability; check the version for your device.

Meditation and breathing: Medito
Medito Foundation describes its app as free, with no paywalls, ads or account requirement. It offers guided meditation, breathing exercises and sleep content, with links to iOS and Android downloads. There is no premium tier to unlock its meditations.
If audio guidance suits you, try a short session before relying on it during a difficult moment. It is fine to stop or choose another activity if meditation does not suit you.

Conversation preparation: tonen
On iPhone, tonen includes 21 free conversation scripts, Box Breathing and 5-4-3-2-1 Grounding. You also get one free use each of Reply Helper, Perspective Helper and Debrief. Those single uses are not an unlimited free Helper plan.
Premium adds the full script library, Phone Call Mode, Body Scan, Safe Place and 50 weekly requests shared across the three Helpers. Scripts and Calm exercises available on your device work offline; Helpers need internet and can miss context. tonen supports wording and reflection; it is not a speech-generating AAC system.
You can also use the social script examples on this website without downloading anything.

Put one free tool to work
For an appointment, start with a calendar reminder and a short checklist. If finding words is the difficult part, prepare: “Please write down the next steps before I leave.” If you need spoken output, look for an appropriate AAC option separately. A planner, meditation app and wording tool do different jobs.
Before starting a trial, check whether payment details are required and what happens when it ends. Test the ongoing free version with a real task before moving your routine into it. An existing note or calendar may already do what you need.
