Ledger Live Desktop provides a convenient interface for managing supported digital assets with a Ledger hardware wallet. The current Ledger Wallet app is available for Windows, macOS and Linux.
Use a larger screen to review accounts, monitor your portfolio and work with supported crypto assets while your Ledger hardware device provides the physical approval layer for transactions.
```View supported accounts and keep track of your digital-asset activity from a centralized desktop interface.
Connect your Ledger device when required and review transaction details on the physical signer before approving.
A dedicated desktop environment makes it easier to navigate your wallet, accounts and supported features on a larger display.
Ledger Live is the former name of the Ledger Wallet application. Ledger's current desktop experience supports Windows, macOS and Linux, allowing users to connect their Ledger device and manage supported crypto assets.
Keep your wallet workflow organized through one desktop application instead of relying on multiple unrelated interfaces.
Download the appropriate official Ledger application for the operating system installed on your computer.
Follow the official setup process and take a moment to verify every security step before using your wallet.
