Ledger Live Desktop – Official App to Manage Your Ledger Wallet


Easily Manage Crypto Assets on Your Computer with Ledger Live Desktop

Ledger Live Desktop is the official desktop application for users of Ledger hardware wallets, including the Ledger Nano S Plus and Nano X. This powerful software allows you to manage, track, and grow your cryptocurrency holdings from the security of your desktop — available for Windows, macOS, and Linux.

Ledger Live Desktop combines ease of use with advanced features to help you securely interact with blockchain networks without exposing your private keys online.

What Is Ledger Live Desktop?

Ledger Live Desktop is a downloadable software program developed by Ledger that enables users to connect their Ledger devices and manage digital assets through a single, secure platform. It offers real-time portfolio tracking, crypto transaction tools, staking options, and access to apps on your Ledger device.

Unlike browser extensions or mobile wallets, Ledger Live Desktop operates in a controlled desktop environment, reducing the risk of phishing attacks or browser-based vulnerabilities.
