Security is the foundation of asset management. Ledger Live Desktop® provides multi-layered protection: hardware-backed keys, encrypted local storage, explicit user approvals for transactions, and privacy-first telemetry settings. We recommend using a dedicated hardware device for maximum security.
For more advanced security, enable passphrases, use a hardware device, and keep recovery phrases offline and in secure locations.
Available for macOS, Windows and Linux. Use the secure installer and verify signatures for extra safety.
Yes — the desktop application template here is free to download. Some third-party integrations (swaps/staking) may have fees charged by partners. Always review fees before confirming a transaction.
The app supports software-only accounts for monitoring and tracking, but using a hardware wallet provides an added security layer. For high-value holdings, hardware-backed signing is strongly recommended.
Recovery is performed using the 12/18/24-word recovery phrase created when setting up your wallet. Store this phrase offline in a secure location. If you lose your device but have your recovery phrase, you can restore your accounts on a new device.
Privacy settings are available in the app. The template respects user privacy — you can opt out of optional analytics and only grant permissions when needed for integrations.
Search engine indexing times vary. To encourage fast indexing: submit a sitemap to Bing Webmaster Tools, ensure your page has valid structured data and meta tags (included), and share the URL on official social channels and trusted sites. Indexing is controlled by search engines and can take hours to weeks.
Managing crypto on desktop gives you speed and convenience — but it also places responsibility on you to protect keys and verify transactions. Ledger Live Desktop® emphasizes hardware-backed signing, clear transaction previews, and minimal data collection so you remain in control.
Whether you are actively trading, staking to earn rewards, or long-term holding, a well-designed desktop manager balances convenience with robust security practices to keep digital wealth safe over time.
