A DESKTOP COMPANION
Ledger Live Desktop, at a glance.
Ledger Live Desktop is an application for viewing and working with crypto accounts in coordination with a Ledger hardware wallet.
It brings account information, portfolio summaries, and transaction-related tools together in a computer interface. For many people, a larger screen makes it easier to review details, compare activity, and navigate across accounts before taking action.
The app is one part of a broader setup—not a substitute for careful verification. This guide explains common areas of the desktop experience in plain language. Features and supported assets may change over time, so check official Ledger resources for up-to-date availability and instructions.

OFFICIAL SOURCES FIRSTDOWNLOAD WITH CARE
Find official resources. Check your setup.
Use Ledger’s official website and support documentation to locate software resources. Verify the address carefully and avoid downloads offered through unsolicited emails, direct messages, pop-ups, or lookalike pages. This independent guide does not distribute Ledger software.
Before installing, check the system requirements and supported operating systems in Ledger’s current documentation. If the computer is shared or managed by an organization, consider its update and security policies. Keep the operating system and trusted security tools current, and download only through a source you have independently verified.
