Securely manage, track, and grow your crypto assets on your computer
Ledger Live Desktop is the official desktop application developed by Ledger for managing cryptocurrency assets using a Ledger hardware wallet. It provides a secure and intuitive interface for users to view balances, send and receive crypto, install apps, and manage accounts directly from their computer.
Available for Windows, macOS, and Linux, Ledger Live Desktop combines user-friendly design with enterprise-grade security. All sensitive actions require physical confirmation on the Ledger device, ensuring full protection of private keys at all times.
Track real-time balances, asset allocation, and performance across supported cryptocurrencies in one dashboard.
Send and receive crypto safely with transaction details verified and approved directly on your Ledger device.

Earn rewards by staking supported assets and access built-in crypto services directly from the app.
Once installed, Ledger Live Desktop becomes your secure control center for crypto management.
Ledger Live Desktop is designed with a security-first approach. The application never stores private keys on your computer. Instead, cryptographic operations occur entirely within the Secure Element of your Ledger hardware wallet.
Ledger Live Desktop is ideal for users who prefer managing their digital assets on a larger screen with full-featured controls. It offers deeper visibility into portfolios compared to mobile-only tools.
The desktop version is especially useful for frequent transactions, long-term portfolio tracking, and advanced device management tasks.
If Ledger Live Desktop does not recognize your device, ensure the USB cable is functioning and that your Ledger device is unlocked with the correct PIN.
Keeping the application and device firmware up to date helps prevent connectivity and synchronization issues.
Unlike browser wallets or centralized exchanges, Ledger Live Desktop provides self-custody with hardware-backed security. This removes reliance on third-party custody and reduces exposure to cyber risks.
