Ledger Live is the official desktop application that pairs with Ledger hardware wallets to provide a complete, user-friendly interface for managing your cryptocurrency assets. The desktop app supports account creation, balances, transaction history, and on-device confirmation for signing transactions. It is built with security-first principles: your private keys remain physically stored on the Ledger device while Ledger Live facilitates communication in a safe manner. Downloading Ledger Live from this page ensures you receive the authentic installer and official checksum you can use to verify file integrity.
The download packages differ by operating system: Windows installers, macOS packages that support both Intel and Apple Silicon, and multiple Linux packaging options (AppImage, DEB, RPM). Each package is signed and has an associated checksum for verification. For most users Windows and macOS installers are the quickest path; power users may prefer Linux AppImage. After installation, Ledger Live will guide you through firmware updates and app installs for supported coins and tokens. Use the "Verify" instructions to check the SHA256 checksum or a PGP signature if provided — this step is an essential part of a secure setup.
Ledger Live is regularly updated with security patches, new asset support, and UX improvements. Keep the app and your device firmware current. If you suspect a compromised download or have doubts, contact official support channels and avoid running the installer. By following the verification steps and using only official sources, you significantly reduce the risk of supply-chain or phishing attacks. Your Ledger device plus Ledger Live together give you a strong platform to safely manage and grow your digital portfolio.
