Ledger Live is the official desktop application from Ledger that lets you securely manage cryptocurrencies on Windows, macOS, and Linux. It pairs with Ledger hardware wallets (such as the Ledger Nano S Plus and Ledger Nano X) to provide a private-key isolated experience, live portfolio tracking, built-in swap integrations, staking, app management, and firmware updates.
Download the official Ledger Live installer for your operating system, run the installer, and follow the on-screen setup. Connect your Ledger hardware wallet using USB or Bluetooth (for supported models), then open Ledger Live to add accounts and start managing assets.
Ledger Live works with Ledger hardware wallets to keep private keys offline in a Secure Element chip. Transaction signing happens on-device, preventing remote theft even if the desktop is compromised.
View combined portfolio value, fiat conversions, and individual account balances. Add multiple accounts for the same blockchain and manage tokens easily.
Initiate sends and receives directly from the app; confirm operations physically on your Ledger device. Use built-in swap providers for token exchanges without exposing private keys.
Ledger Live exposes integrations and links to developer documentation for building Ledger-enabled apps and connecting to dApps through bridge utilities.
If you suspect a security issue (lost device, exposed recovery phrase, or suspicious firmware), contact Ledger support immediately and follow their recovery guidance.
