Ledger Live Desktop — Reliable Desktop Wallet Management
Ledger Live Desktop is the official desktop application that enables secure and efficient management of cryptocurrency holdings. When used with a Ledger hardware wallet (such as Nano S or Nano X), it ensures private keys remain offline while providing a clear, audited interface for sending transactions, reviewing balances, and managing device settings.
Security and clarity for desktop users
The Ledger Live Desktop architecture separates transaction signing (performed on the hardware device) from the application interface on your computer. This reduces exposure to online risks and provides a reliable workflow for individuals and teams handling valuable crypto assets.
Private keys are stored securely on your Ledger device, so they never touch the internet.
Manage Bitcoin, Ethereum and over 5,500 tokens within one trusted desktop app.
Clear transaction logs and device status help with record-keeping and audits.
Access supported DeFi flows and staking while keeping signing operations on-device.
Quick start — install and secure
