This guide will walk you through everything you need to know to install and set up the Ledger Live App — the official software companion for your Ledger hardware wallet. By the end, you’ll be ready to manage altcoins, connect to dApps, explore DeFi, and safeguard your digital assets with complete peace of mind.
The Ledger Live App is a secure platform that lets you manage your cryptocurrencies directly from your desktop or mobile device. It connects seamlessly with your Ledger Nano X or Nano S Plus to help you send, receive, and stake crypto securely.

Plug in your Ledger Nano X or Nano S Plus using the provided USB cable (or Bluetooth for Nano X mobile connection). Follow on-screen instructions to pair your device securely.
🔒 Your Ledger Live App recovery phrase is your master key — never share or store it online. Keep it in a secure offline location.
If you already have a Ledger wallet, you can import your wallet to Ledger Live by choosing “Restore device from recovery phrase” and entering your 24-word seed phrase.
The Ledger Live mobile app gives you the same control on the go. Sync it with your hardware wallet via Bluetooth (Nano X only) and track, send, or receive crypto anytime.
Your Ledger Live App recovery phrase must be stored securely. Consider using a metal backup like Ledger Cryptosteel Capsule for extra protection against fire or water damage.
