Contacts Manager separate yet integrated w/ Calendar & Email
So far I'm really pleased with the Proton team tools. The basics include: email, calendar, and contacts. Since Contacts are already built into both the email and calendar, PLEASE bump-out the Contacts as a third-pillar separate but integrated app. That would be a complete suite IMHO. Since you're working on syncing with phone contacts anyway, if we use the ProtonContacts we will no longer need the other unsafe Contacts manager apps! PLEEZE? Thank you!

It would be great to have an encrypted contacts app that syncs birthdays and alike with Proton Calendar and syncs emails to Proton Mail etc. while also being private and works directly in Android and other apps like Signal or WhatsApp through allowing a permission for example without having to keep a local unencrypted/Google copy of contacts all the time for apps.
This, with the new Tasks coming in 2025 in Calendar, would allow me to fully switch to Proton instead of still being forced to use Google Contacts, Tasks and Calendar when I should be using Proton's Calendar.

And perhaps another idea: to be able to set which Proton Mail address you use to write an e-mail to this person. For example, I have an e-mail address for private matters and one for my freelance activities. I can set that I automatically write to my mum with ‘private@proton’ and my freelance colleague automatically with ‘work@proton’.
Something like:
Contact: Florian from Work
Send mail from: ‘work@proton’Contact: Mum
Send mail from: ‘privat@proton’ -

I would like to have a larger contact interface. Preferably a separate app. Naming, sorting, editing, assigning groups, etc.
That would be my wish:
Create name, email, address, date of birth, phone number etc, assign them to groups and then link them to other Proton apps. Do you have a date of birth of the contact? It appears automatically in the Proton calendar. Ideally a ‘separate calendar’ such as show/hide public holidays.
The person has an email address? This email is then integrated in the Proton Mail app. -

It's pretty annoying to use the native phone app dialer/sms/contacts app on my Android separately from the Proton contacts in my email and calendar apps. Can hardly wait to see a full contact management app by my favorite email, calendar and VPN provider - Proton!!

A separate Contacts app is required! I would like to get rid of Google once and for all on my PC and also on my mobile phone. We need a Contacts application that can be kept in constant sync, can be integrated into mobile phones, but is free of big-tec, so that we can finally remove Google Contacts from our mobile phones. There are many users who only use Google because, for lack of a better option, they are forced to use the Google contact management application.
