Ledger Live App® — Secure Mobile & Desktop Wallet

Manage, protect, and grow your crypto from a beautifully simple interface — available on desktop and mobile.

Overview

Ledger Live is the native application that connects to Ledger hardware wallets and offers a unified place to track portfolios, send and receive crypto, swap tokens, and access decentralized applications. Designed for both newcomers and advanced users, Ledger Live blends usability with industry-standard security practices to give you confident control over private keys and transactions.

Cross-platform

Available as a modern desktop app (Windows, macOS, Linux) and a responsive mobile app (iOS & Android), Ledger Live syncs your portfolio view while private keys remain protected on your Ledger device.

Security at the Core

Security is Ledger Live's foundation. The app never exposes private keys — those remain isolated inside your Ledger hardware device. All sensitive operations (signing transactions, revealing public keys) happen with explicit user confirmation on the hardware device itself. Ledger Live also supports PIN, passphrase, and recovery phrase best practices to keep your assets safe even if a device is lost.

Private key isolation: Keys never leave the Ledger device.
Transaction confirmation: Every transaction must be approved on device.
Open-source components: Critical parts of the stack are auditable.

Core Features

Ledger Live brings an array of features to manage crypto on your terms — whether you hold a few coins or a diverse portfolio of tokens and NFTs.

Portfolio Dashboard: A clean snapshot of asset allocation, balances, and performance over time.
Coin & Token Support: Send, receive, and manage hundreds of cryptocurrencies and tokens.
Swap & Buy: Integrated on-ramps and swap partners enable quick trades without leaving the app.
Staking & DeFi Access: Stake supported assets and connect to DApps using secure integrations.
NFT Management: View and manage NFT collections directly in the app.

Getting Started

Start by downloading Ledger Live for your platform, create or restore a Ledger device, and follow the guided setup to add accounts. Adding an account synchronizes blockchain data while sensitive operations remain protected on-device. New users will appreciate in-app guides that explain recovery phrase safety, while advanced users can enable passphrases or use multiple accounts for granular control.

Quick steps: download → connect your Ledger device → create or restore → add accounts → secure your recovery phrase.
