Anyway, I won't link you because mobile and don't want to be schill it too much, but if you want truly robust, free outlining software, please google "bibisco."
It is amazing. It has tabs that allow you to keep track of various elements of your story including narrative threads, characters, and locations. Then, you can tag your chapters and scenes with informational tags it has helped you define. It automatically generates stats for you so you can see the distribution of certain elements visually. And the BEST thing about this software is its character info screen. For those of you who make OCs I bet it would be even more helpful but it has the option to let the software interview you about the character. You can format your responses however you like but the questions are so thorough and great and help guide your thoughts and make sure you didn't miss anything. Even if you're writing canon characters as I do, it's great to see how they got to where they are in your fic.
If you are doing anything more plotty than porn, this thing is just great so. Now you know.
