Manage your crypto portfolio on the go with Ledger's secure mobile application for iOS and Android
Ledger Live Mobile brings the full power of Ledger's cryptocurrency management platform to your iOS or Android device. With a streamlined interface optimized for mobile use, you can check your portfolio, send and receive crypto, and even buy or swap assets directly from your smartphone.
The mobile app synchronizes seamlessly with Ledger Live Desktop, ensuring your accounts and transaction history are always up to date across all your devices. Whether you're at home, in the office, or on the move, your crypto assets are always accessible while maintaining Ledger's signature security standards.
For Ledger Nano X users, the mobile experience is enhanced with Bluetooth connectivity, allowing wireless interaction with your hardware wallet. This means you can securely manage your assets without needing to physically connect your device via cable.
Ledger Live Desktop is the official application developed by Ledger for managing and securing digital assets using Ledger hardware wallets. It offers a trusted, simple, and powerful interface that allows users to safely store, send, receive, and track cryptocurrencies — all while maintaining full control of their private keys. Whether you are setting up a Ledger Nano X, Nano S Plus, or Ledger Stax, the Ledger Live Desktop app provides a seamless and secure experience.
Ledger Live Desktop is available on Windows, macOS, and Linux, giving users the ability to manage their crypto portfolios from any computer. It connects directly to your Ledger device and acts as a secure bridge between your hardware wallet and the blockchain network. All critical operations — including signing transactions — happen within the hardware device, keeping private keys completely offline and protected from online threats.
To ensure safety, always download Ledger Live Desktop from the official Ledger website: https://www.ledger.com/start. Avoid third-party download links or file-sharing websites. The official setup files are digitally signed and verified to guarantee authenticity and integrity.
Once Ledger Live Desktop is installed, connect your Ledger hardware wallet using a USB cable or Bluetooth (for supported models). The app will guide you through initialization, where you will create a PIN and securely write down your 24-word recovery phrase. This phrase is your master backup key — keep it offline and never share it digitally or online.
Every transaction or configuration performed within Ledger Live Desktop must be confirmed physically on your Ledger device. This ensures that even if your computer were compromised, malicious software could not access your funds. Private keys never leave the secure element of your hardware wallet, providing a true layer of cold storage protection.
Ledger frequently releases software and firmware updates to improve performance and strengthen security. The Ledger Live app automatically notifies you when updates are available. Only download updates directly from within the Ledger Live interface or from the official Ledger website.
Ledger Live Desktop supports over 5,000 cryptocurrencies and tokens. You can create multiple accounts for different assets, organize them by category, and view real-time balance updates. Integration with the Ledger ecosystem also provides access to staking and DeFi applications, enabling you to grow your portfolio while keeping control of your private keys.
If your device is not detected or a connection fails, try a different USB cable, update your firmware, or reinstall the Ledger Live app. For detailed solutions, visit the official Ledger Support Center where verified troubleshooting guides are available.
With Ledger Live Desktop, users can manage their crypto assets confidently. By combining ease of use with world-class hardware security, Ledger gives individuals complete ownership of their financial freedom. Whether you are buying your first digital asset or managing a diverse crypto portfolio, Ledger Live Desktop provides a secure foundation for your crypto journey.
