You may want to note what OS(s) you’re using: OS X, Linux, Windows, or anything else, so we can make more appropriate recommendations.
I use Aperture, which does offer that: opt-F to toggle an overlay of your camera’s focus point array, with the active one highlighted in red.

You‘ve had various suggestions for software. But remember, it‘s of strictly limited use. The software can show you which focus point was used when focus lock was obtained, but there‘s no way to know whether the composition was altered after focusing (i.e. focus-recompose). So the object which is under the active focus point in the final image may not be the object which was actually focused on.

I'm sorry for the pedant mode but it's focus point, focal point is something else entirely.
I think it's important to use the correct terms to avoid confusion.
