Ledger Live Desktop – Full Control of Your Crypto on Your Computer

Ledger Live Desktop is the official software companion for Ledger hardware wallets, specifically designed to give users secure, offline-first access to their digital assets through a desktop interface. Whether you're a beginner or a seasoned investor, Ledger Live Desktop provides the tools you need to manage, track, and protect your crypto portfolio—all while maintaining maximum security.

With support for thousands of cryptocurrencies and advanced features like staking, NFT management, and secure app installation, Ledger Live Desktop ensures that your hardware wallet reaches its full potential.

What Is Ledger Live Desktop?

Ledger Live Desktop is the desktop version of the Ledger Live application, compatible with Windows, macOS, and Linux. It enables users to interact directly with their Ledger Nano S Plus or Ledger Nano X hardware wallets from the security of a computer.

Unlike web-based wallets or browser extensions, Ledger Live Desktop keeps you in full control of your crypto by requiring physical confirmation on the hardware device for every transaction or operation. This drastically reduces the risks associated with phishing, keyloggers, and malware.
