Your secure control center for managing digital assets with a Ledger hardware wallet
Ledger Live Desktop is the official computer application built to work alongside Ledger hardware wallets. It serves as a command hub where users can monitor portfolios, manage crypto accounts, and interact with blockchain networks — all while keeping private keys protected offline inside the device.
Instead of storing sensitive data on internet-connected systems, Ledger Live relies on device-based authorization. This means every important action must be confirmed on the physical wallet, adding a strong layer of protection against digital threats.
Track balances, asset distribution, and account activity through a clear visual interface.
Install apps, create accounts, and manage multiple cryptocurrencies in one place.
Send and receive digital currencies with on-device verification before approval.
Keep your Ledger hardware up to date using built-in update tools within the desktop app.
The desktop application acts as an interface, but cryptographic operations occur inside the Ledger device. When a user initiates a transaction, the details are displayed on the wallet’s screen. Only after manual confirmation does the transaction get signed and broadcast.
This structure ensures that even if a computer is compromised, unauthorized transfers cannot occur without direct user approval.
From individual investors to advanced crypto users, Ledger Live Desktop supports people who want a balance between usability and strong asset protection. It’s designed for those who prefer managing funds from a larger screen while maintaining hardware-level security.
Ledger Live Desktop bridges the gap between convenience and high-grade security. By combining intuitive software tools with hardware authentication, it enables confident crypto management without relying on traditional password systems.
