Django PowerTools
Supercharge your Django development in PyCharm and IntelliJ. Navigate models, views, templates, and URLs with ease. Understand your project structure at a glance.
The Problem
Lost in Code
Django projects grow fast. Finding the right model, view, or template becomes a maze of file searches.
Broken Connections
URLs, views, and templates are connected by strings. One typo and you only find out at runtime.
No Overview
Understanding how models relate, which views exist, and how URLs are structured requires mental mapping.
Features
Project Structure
Dedicated tool window showing all Django apps, models, views, and URL patterns in a navigable tree.
Quick Navigation

Model Overview
See all fields, relationships, and methods for any model. Understand your data layer instantly.
URL Patterns
Browse all URL patterns with their names, paths, and connected views. Never guess a URL name again.

Search across models, views, URLs, and templates. Find what you need without remembering file locations.
