How do I manage multiple application screens in Illustrator? Plugins, scripts for artboards?

I am doing, for example, the design of a mobile application in a chandelier. 1 screen = 1 artboard, convenient. A linear sequence of screens is typed and op-pa - a fork in logic. We press button 1 - we go to another scenario, button 2 - we continue the scenario, button 3 - somewhere else, 4 - else. It is logical to display this exactly as a branch, a tree, that is, move the artboards so that the branch is visually clear. And this is where the hemorrhoids begin. It is not possible to quickly reorganize artboards. You can't even move multiple artboards at once. And if more branches and branches on branches are added to the script, it's easier to re-create everything.
Are there plugins/scripts that make artboard juggling easier? Sketch not to offer - I work under Windows.
As an option, export artboards to pictures and paste them into one of the mind-map programs (tell me a good free one, by the way), but firstly, it’s still inconvenient to organize the application logic, at least for yourself, and secondly, the use of two programs in itself complicates the process .

In Photoshop, now there is a normal system of artboards, one to one with a sketch. Try exporting several screens there, maybe it will be more convenient.

mindmap can't help (you can just draw arrows/rectangles by hand and write text), but I advise InVision to create a prototype)

It seems to me that when you saw a tree in this, you gained the consciousness of a declarative programmer,
so you can immediately try to collect designs in the html tree,
these low-level web design - for the especially gifted))

On a subject I have nothing.
Also, the working area is 5.5 meters, and in the end you will still run into the edge when laying out artboards)
There is a lot about the sketch in Russian here sketchapp.me
I think it's time for you to seriously think about it. But as a vector editor, of course, it is much inferior to a chandelier.
