Ledger Live is the official companion application for Ledger® hardware wallets, serving as your centralized dashboard for complete cryptocurrency management. This powerful platform bridges the security of hardware wallets with the convenience of modern financial software, allowing you to manage, grow, and protect your digital assets with unprecedented ease.
Your private keys never leave your Ledger® device. All transactions are verified and signed offline.
Full-featured experience with advanced portfolio analytics, trading features, and complete DeFi integration. Available for Windows, macOS, and Linux.
Mobile-optimized for on-the-go management. Check balances, send/receive crypto, and stake assets from your iOS or Android device.
Pro Tip: Use both Desktop and Mobile versions for comprehensive coverage. Desktop for advanced features and mobile for quick access and transactions.
Unlike traditional applications, Ledger Live doesn't use username/password authentication. Your security is tied to your physical Ledger® device. To access your accounts:
Yes, Ledger Live is completely free to download and use. The only required purchase is a Ledger® hardware wallet (Nano S, Nano S Plus, or Nano X) to secure your private keys and enable full functionality.
No, Ledger Live is specifically designed to work with Ledger® hardware wallets. The application serves as an interface for your device, but all private keys and transaction signing occur securely on the hardware wallet itself.
Ledger Live Desktop offers the complete feature set including advanced analytics, trading options, and full DeFi access. The mobile app focuses on essential functions like checking balances and making transactions, optimized for mobile use. Both maintain the same security standards.
Ledger Live automatically notifies you when updates are available. You can download updates directly through the application or visit the official Ledger.com/start page. Regular updates ensure you have the latest security features and cryptocurrency support.
Yes, you can manage multiple Ledger® devices through the same Ledger Live application. Each device maintains its own separate accounts and security, but you can switch between them within the app to manage different portfolios or use cases.
Your funds remain safe as long as you have your 24-word recovery phrase. Simply acquire a new Ledger® device, restore it using your recovery phrase, and you'll regain access to all your accounts through Ledger Live. Never share your recovery phrase with anyone.
