Ledger Live App® | Official Ledger Mobile & Desktop Application

What is Ledger Live?

Ledger Live is a desktop and mobile application designed to help you manage your cryptocurrency hardware wallet. It provides a single interface to check balances, send and receive assets, install device apps, and access staking or swap features where supported. The core purpose is to keep private keys offline on your Ledger device while giving you a simple, trustworthy way to interact with your crypto holdings.
