How it Works
Why Desktop?
Bigger canvas, deeper focus. Desktop gives you a distraction-free workspace, richer analytics, and native performance on both PC and Mac. It’s ideal for portfolio reviews, power-user flows, and multi-account management—all under your control.
Security, not just promises
Ledger Live Desktop is designed around hardware-backed security. Your private keys never touch your computer; they remain sealed inside your Ledger device. The app presents clear, human-readable transaction details, so you can verify what you sign on the device itself. Combined with code reviews, reproducible builds, and strict origin checks, you get the best of usability and safety in a single experience.
Offline key storage
Your recovery phrase and private keys live only on your Ledger hardware wallet. Ledger Live simply orchestrates secure requests.
Transparent actions
From gas to recipient, all critical data appears on your device screen for final approval—exactly as it should.
Phishing-resistant
Built-in checks, address books, and connection warnings help you avoid traps. You stay in the loop, not in the dark.
