Ledger Live Desktop is Ledger's desktop software for managing compatible Ledger hardware wallets from a computer. It provides an interface for viewing supported cryptocurrency accounts, installing blockchain applications, managing assets, and interacting with your Ledger device.

Before approving a transaction, carefully check the address and amount displayed on your Ledger hardware wallet. If anything looks different from what you intended, reject the transaction.
If the desktop application does not detect your Ledger device, check the cable and connection, restart the application, unlock the hardware wallet when required, and ensure that the official Ledger software is current.
For additional assistance, use Ledger's official support documentation rather than unofficial support services.
Ledger Live Desktop provides a convenient way to manage a compatible Ledger hardware wallet from a computer. For a secure experience, use genuine Ledger software, keep your recovery phrase private, and verify transactions directly on your Ledger device.
