From Bitcoin and Ether to the long tail of tokens
One portfolio across every network you hold on
Buy and swap rates ranked side by side before you commit
Your private keys never leave your Ledger signer
Three things decide whether you keep an app for your crypto: whether you can see what you hold, whether you can act on it, and whether anyone else can touch it.
Track balances and history across every address, follow profit and loss as it moves, and see which assets buyers are actually gravitating towards.
Compare 50+ service providers across 100+ chains on every buy and swap, with gas-free swaps and stablecoin yield on the table.
Nothing moves without your signer. Every transaction is displayed on the device and only you can approve it.
The desktop app gives you somewhere sensible to work. The signer keeps the keys out of reach. Neither is much use without the other.
Send and receive thousands of currencies, build a portfolio across 100+ chains, and make buy, swap and staking decisions with the numbers in front of you.

The device holds your private keys offline and shows you what you are approving, so a phishing site or a malicious contract approval has nothing to reach.
More clarity, more confidence and more control than the software wallet or the exchange account you're using now.
At a glance | Ledger signer | Software wallets | Exchanges |
|---|---|---|---|
Ownership | You hold the keys, the signer keeps them offline, and it confirms every transaction. | You hold the keys, but they sit online and are exposed to hacks. | check The exchange holds your assets. You have a balance on their books. |
Exposure | Transaction details appear on the signer before you approve, and only you can approve them. | A phishing site or a bad contract approval can drain the wallet you're connected to. | Losses from exchange breaches and failures land on you, and you have no control over them. |
Guidance | An app built for newcomers, with market insights and clear transaction reviews. | Few guardrails, and no one to check that what you're signing is what you think it is. | Little help learning to hold assets yourself, or to spot an approval you shouldn't sign. |
Ledger Live Desktop runs with every Ledger signer, from the Nano range to Flex and Stax.
No browser extension, no middleware and no second wallet. Ledger Live Desktop talks to supported dApps directly, and your signer still verifies what you're approving before anything moves.
Connects to supported dApps with no extension to install
Safer than a software wallet, because the keys stay in the signer
Real ownership, unlike an account held on an exchange
You'll need a Ledger signer to get started. If you already own one, the rest takes minutes.
Install it on Windows, macOS or Linux. There's no account to create and no email address to hand over.
Plug the device in over USB and unlock it with your PIN. Your private keys are held inside it from the very first use.
Add your accounts, then buy, swap, stake and send. Every transaction is shown on the signer, and only you can approve it.
Buying, swapping and staking run on third-party services and settle through your signer, so the provider never takes custody of your assets.
Compare what providers offer across thousands of coins and chains, and see market context before you commit. Payment methods and availability vary by country.
Providers compete for your business, so you see the rate before you approve it on the signer. No browser window and no extension in the middle.
Stake ETH, SOL and popular stablecoins while keeping ownership of the assets and the keys. Rewards aren't guaranteed, and staking carries its own risks.
It's the desktop application for your Ledger signer. It shows your whole portfolio in one place and gives you somewhere to buy, swap, stake and send, while the signer holds your keys and approves each transaction.
Yes. Ledger Live Desktop is built to work with a Ledger hardware signer, because that's where your private keys live. The app itself is free to download and free to use.
Windows, macOS and Linux, each with its own installer. Download the Linux build, and the same accounts can follow you onto the Ledger Live mobile app.
Your crypto doesn't go with it. As long as you still have your recovery phrase, you can restore your accounts onto a replacement signer and get back to the same assets. Never type that phrase into a website, an email, or a chat with anyone.
Third-party providers. Ledger supplies the app and the signer; the transaction services come from external companies, and Ledger gives no advice or recommendation on using them. Rewards are not guaranteed.
Yes. Ledger Live Desktop connects to supported dApps directly, with no browser extension or middleware, and every transaction still has to be approved on your signer.
Download it and have a look around. The app is free, and nothing moves without your signer.
Free to download and free to use, with installers for Windows, macOS and Linux. You'll need a Ledger signer to put the app to work.
Linux installer also available for download
Check compatibility with your system before installing
