# **Ledger Live Desktop**

Your gateway to self‑custody, refined for the desktop.

## **Built for serious self‑custody**

Ledger Live Desktop is more than a portfolio tracker. It’s the command center for your Ledger Nano. Connect your device, install apps, manage accounts, and sign transactions — all from a single, refined interface. Every operation is verified on your hardware wallet’s secure screen. That means malware on your computer can’t steal your keys, even if your desktop is compromised. The desktop version adds native performance, larger charts, and seamless multi‑tasking.

With support for over 5,500 digital assets and a growing library of Web3 integrations, Ledger Live Desktop puts you in full control. Buy, sell, swap, stake, and lend — all without surrendering custody. The application communicates with your device via USB or Bluetooth (on compatible models), and each transaction requires explicit confirmation on the trusted display.

### **📊 Unified portfolio**

Track every account, token, and NFT in real time. Ledger Live Desktop aggregates balances across multiple blockchains and provides historical performance, tax‑ready reports, and customizable price alerts. All data is stored locally — no third‑party servers.

### **🔐 Hardware‑grade security**

Private keys never leave your Ledger device. Transaction signing happens inside the secure element, and the desktop app only broadcasts signed transactions. Even if your computer is infected, your assets remain safe. Desktop adds a PIN‑lockout and session timeout for extra peace of mind.

## **Refined for the desktop workflow**

The desktop version of Ledger Live is engineered for users who demand more from their tools. With native keyboard shortcuts, multi‑window support, and a resizable layout, it fits perfectly into any professional setup. The refreshed interface reduces visual noise and puts actionable insights front and center. Whether you’re a day‑to‑day user or a long‑term holder, the experience feels crisp and responsive.

Managers of multiple portfolios will appreciate the “accounts” view, which lets you group assets by purpose (e.g., trading, savings, NFTs). Drag‑and‑drop reordering, instant search, and detailed transaction history make auditing simple. The swap feature aggregates rates from multiple providers, and staking is available for major networks like Ethereum, Solana, Polkadot, and Cosmos — all with just a few clicks.

Regular updates bring new chain integrations, performance improvements, and security patches — all delivered automatically.
