Ledger Live App® | Official Ledger Mobile & Desktop

Ledger Live App – Secure Crypto Management on Desktop and Mobile

The Ledger Live App is the official software companion for Ledger hardware wallets, designed to help users securely manage their cryptocurrency. Available on desktop and mobile, the app provides a powerful interface that allows you to send, receive, buy, sell, swap, and stake digital assets — all while keeping your private keys protected inside your Ledger device.

Built with security and usability in mind, the Ledger Live App bridges the gap between blockchain networks and your hardware wallet, ensuring that you maintain full ownership and control of your crypto at all times.


What Is the Ledger Live App?

The Ledger Live App is a portfolio management and transaction platform created by Ledger. It works with Ledger Nano S Plus and Ledger Nano X devices to provide a secure environment for handling digital assets. Instead of storing private keys online, the app communicates with your hardware wallet, where sensitive information remains safely offline.

This combination of hardware security and software convenience makes the Ledger Live App a trusted solution for both beginners and experienced crypto holders.


Key Features of the Ledger Live App

All-in-One Crypto Dashboard

The app lets you manage thousands of coins and tokens in one place. You can view balances, transaction history, and real-time portfolio performance from a single dashboard.

Send and Receive Crypto Securely

Every transaction must be confirmed on your Ledger hardware wallet. This prevents malware or unauthorized software from sending funds without your approval.

Buy, Sell, and Swap

The Ledger Live App integrates with trusted partners, allowing users to purchase crypto, exchange assets, or cash out while keeping funds protected by their hardware wallet.

Staking and Earning

Users can stake supported cryptocurrencies directly through the app to earn rewards without compromising security.

App Management

You can install or remove blockchain apps on your Ledger device directly from the interface, allowing you to manage storage efficiently.


Why the Ledger Live App Is Secure

Security is the foundation of the Ledger ecosystem. The Ledger Live App itself does not hold your private keys. Instead:

  • Keys remain inside the secure element chip in your Ledger device
  • Transactions require physical confirmation on the hardware wallet
  • Communication between the app and device is encrypted
  • The device is protected by a PIN code

Even if your computer or phone is compromised, attackers cannot access your funds without the physical device and PIN.


How to Get Started

  1. Download the Ledger Live App from the official Ledger website or app store
  2. Install the app on your desktop or mobile device
  3. Connect your Ledger Nano S Plus or Nano X
  4. Set up your device or restore from a recovery phrase
  5. Add accounts and start managing crypto

Always ensure you are using the official application to avoid fake software.


Best Practices for Users

  • Never share your 24-word recovery phrase
  • Keep your recovery phrase offline and secure
  • Enable device PIN protection
  • Keep Ledger Live updated
  • Be cautious of phishing emails or fake support messages

Your recovery phrase is the only backup to your wallet and should never be entered into the app unless restoring a device.


Conclusion

The Ledger Live App combines convenience and hardware-level protection, giving users a secure and easy way to manage digital assets. With support for a wide range of cryptocurrencies and features like staking, swapping, and real-time tracking, it serves as a complete crypto management platform — all while keeping your private keys offline and under your control.
