Ledger Live Desktop
The all-in-one companion app for your Ledger hardware wallet – now available for Windows, macOS, and Linux.
What is Ledger Live Desktop?
Ledger Live Desktop is the official software developed by Ledger SAS to manage your cryptocurrency assets securely from your computer. Paired with a Ledger Nano S, Nano S Plus, Nano X, or Stax hardware wallet, it turns your PC into a powerful crypto management dashboard.
Key Features (Updated November 2025)
- 50+ Cryptocurrencies & 5000+ Tokens – Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, Cardano, Ripple, Polkadot, Cosmos, and all ERC-20 tokens
- Real-time Portfolio Tracking – View balances, historical charts, and market values in one clean interface
- Native Staking – Stake ETH, SOL, ATOM, DOT, XTZ, TRX, and more directly in the app (up to 12% APY depending on network)
- Send & Receive with Confidence – Transactions are signed inside your hardware wallet – your private keys never leave the device
- Install & Manage Apps – Add/remove blockchain apps on your Ledger device without external tools
- NFT Gallery – View and manage Ethereum, Polygon, and Solana NFTs in a beautiful gallery
- Swap Crypto – Built-in swap via partners (Changelly, ParaSwap, 1inch) – no need to send funds to exchanges

- Ledger Recover – Optional cloud backup service for your Secret Recovery Phrase (encrypted & sharded)
System Requirements
- Windows 10/11 (64-bit)
- macOS 12 Monterey or later (Intel & Apple Silicon M1/M2/M3/M4)
- Linux Ubuntu 20.04+ or Fedora 36+ (64-bit)
- Minimum 4 GB RAM, 500 MB free disk space
- USB port (for Nano S/S Plus) or Bluetooth (for Nano X)
Why Choose Ledger Live Desktop Over Mobile?
While the mobile version is great for on-the-go checks, the Desktop app offers:
- Larger screen for portfolio analytics
- Faster transaction signing via USB
- Advanced developer mode & custom nodes
- Batch transactions for DeFi power users
- Full keyboard shortcuts and multi-window support
Security First – Always
Ledger Live never asks for your 24-word recovery phrase. If any website or person requests it – it’s a scam. Your private keys stay isolated inside the Secure Element chip of your Ledger device, certified CC EAL5+ (same level as credit cards and passports).
