A Django app that records the state of models on every create, update, and delete, storing a full change history. It integrates with the Django admin so users can view and revert changes.

Use cases

• track every change made to Django model instances
• audit who changed what and when in a Django app
• revert a model to a previous state from the admin
• keep a historical log of record deletions
• query past versions of a database row

When to choose

• you need per-record audit history in a Django project
• you want admin-integrated viewing and reverting of changes
• you need a mature, widely used Django history solution

When to avoid

• you are not using Django or an ORM with similar hooks
• you need full database-level audit logs rather than application-level model history
• you need event sourcing with complex replay semantics
