Ledger Live App is the official companion application for Ledger hardware wallets, designed to securely manage your cryptocurrencies and digital assets. It is available on desktop (Windows, macOS, Linux) and mobile (iOS, Android), allowing users to access their portfolio anytime while keeping private keys offline and secure.

What is the Ledger Live App?

The Ledger Live App serves as the interface between your Ledger hardware wallet and the blockchain. While your Ledger device stores your private keys offline, the app enables you to send, receive, exchange, and buy cryptocurrencies safely.
