Can anyone recommend a tool for macOS that monitors disk usage changes over time?

I usually use Disk Inventory X but I'd really like to correlate usage increases to specific dates / app installs, so it'd be nice to see stats over time, e.g:

- Installed Android Studio on Feb 1st: Usage in /Applications increased by 850MB, usage in User folder increased by 10G (450MB for android-studio-2.x.dmg, 8.4GB in /Users/name/.android, largest leaf in /Users/name/.android/sdk etc)

I tried to do this with the 'du' tools once but simply writing the current output to disk would take ages and diffs would need some heavy lifting to make sense of.
