No. Lazygit is a terminal UI and has no desktop build. If you want the same coverage with a mouse, a persistent commit graph and a real merge editor, that is a different application. Gitoryx is a native one for macOS, Windows and Linux.

Gitoryx Pro is $69/year, or $199 once for a licence that does not renew. Prices are also billed in EUR and GBP. See the full pricing page.
Buying for more than yourself? Gitoryx Team sells Pro as a yearly capacity of seats you assign and revoke from an admin console, on one invoice. See Team pricing.
Lazygit runs exclusively in the terminal. There is no standalone window, no mouse support, and the commit graph is a text-based representation. Gitoryx is a native desktop application with a persistent visual commit graph, mouse and trackpad support, and drag-and-drop actions, no terminal required. Lazygit wins on staying in the terminal flow; Gitoryx wins on visual clarity.
When a merge conflict occurs in Lazygit, you're sent to your configured external editor. Gitoryx includes a built-in 3-way merge editor with character-level highlighting. You resolve conflicts without leaving the app. For frequent conflicts, the integrated approach saves significant time.
Lazygit can show GitHub PR status and open PRs in a browser via the gh CLI, but there is no in-app PR creation or management. Gitoryx supports full in-app PR creation and management across all four supported hosts.
Lazygit intentionally keeps its scope focused on Git operations. Gitoryx adds AI-generated commit messages, a gitmoji picker, image diff viewing, and automated changelog generation. These features are optional but not available in Lazygit at all.
Both tools are fast. Lazygit is a single Go binary that starts instantly and works over SSH sessions and remote servers. Gitoryx is a native app with quick startup on desktop. Lazygit's terminal nature gives it an edge for remote development. Gitoryx's native rendering provides richer visuals on desktop.
No tool wins everything, and a comparison page that says otherwise is marketing. These are the reasons to stay.
Most people keep both. Lazygit is already open in the terminal you are working in; a GUI earns its place on the operations that are hard to read as text.
Gitoryx is not the only option. If it is not the right fit, these are the ones worth looking at.
Lighter and read-mostly, good for browsing history. Compare Tig with Gitoryx
Deeper Git coverage, but it requires Emacs. Compare Magit with Gitoryx
A full GUI with a visual commit graph if you want to leave the terminal. Compare Fork with Gitoryx
Free plan, no account required. Install it next to Lazygit and open the same repository in both.
