Ren'Py How to organize information and paths on a Visual Novel?

[dobasox]

Everytime I'm horny and can't masturbate I open the notes on my phone and write my ideas.
At this point I have enough material for a short visual novel and I want to try making a simple one.
My main issue right now is organizing information.
When I DM'd roleplay sessions I just used Microsoft Excel to have easy access to all the different scenes, character traits, worldbuilding, timelines, etc but I'm sure there are better tools, I just can't find them. Bonus points if the tool you recommend can synchronize with my phone!
My idea is making a kinetic nukige but I'm stupid and will probably overcomplicate things eventually if I don't get bored. My brain hurts just thinking about using Excel and Word for writing different routes.
I also want tips about things to plan before I start writing.

Twine and/or Obsidian are ideal options for route planning and notes.

This is absolutely perfect and exactly what I was looking for. Thank you very much.

After seeing this obsidian thing recommended severall times I finally just checked it out.

FUCK.

I wish I had known about it before I ended up with random notes scattered across multiple devices and a dozen text files.

I'm gearing up for a new project and I want to start this one properly, right from the start. So I was just thinking about a new app to do my story outline and develop the canon. I'm glad I just saw this thread because Obsidian looks perfect for what I need.

Downloading it now and getting a bunch of plugins installed that look useful for VN development.

Thx!
