A number of folks at Liberty Hall did Midsommer Madness and used aspects of the Snowflake Method to outline and plan a novel. Some people love the method, some hate it, some are ambivalent.
Randy Ingermanson who came up with the Snowflake Method has now written software for Mac, Windows and Linux for doing the Snowflake Method. Of course, no one needs software to do the Snowflake Method. A notepad will do. However, I can see the advantage of it.
I can't say how good it is as I've not made a decision to buy yet, so this isn't an endorsement by any means. However, I thought I should point it out. The software will be $100.00 (way pricey) but until Friday it is on sale for the initial release at 80% off: $20.00
