I don’t think I quite understand the question, because it seems to me any outliner should help brainstorm like a pen to paper, with some limitations, but also with some advantages.

I am reminded of the app Brainstorm, which is still available:

https://www.brainstormsw.com/

It is intended as a frictionless way to do a brain dump on a subject, then reogranize the thoughts quickly and easily. I never found it quite that easy (having to remember keyboard shortcuts is always a stumbling block for me).

Another method that works for me is writing about the subject, and turning it into a conversation with myself. But usually the best ideas come from interaction with others, and there are a ton of software platforms that allegedly facilitate collaboration.

Anyway, as I said, perhaps I didn’t really understand the question.
