What is Ledger Live Desktop?
Ledger Live Desktop is the official desktop app from Ledger that helps you manage cryptocurrency safely from your computer. When paired with a Ledger hardware device (like Nano S or Nano X), it keeps your private keys offline while letting you send, receive, and monitor crypto on Windows, macOS, or Linux.
Why choose Ledger Live Desktop?
Ledger Live Desktop gives you a simple and protected way to control your crypto:
Private keys are stored on your Ledger device — not on the internet.
Manage Bitcoin, Ethereum and 5,500+ tokens from one app.
Real-time balance and price view so you can always see your holdings.
Connect safely to staking and supported DeFi features without exposing keys.
