My primary concern is Mail and Calendar for MacOS.

For example, look at Apple’s email and Calendar applications for desktop and mobile. These are modern applications that work cohesively on their own. Proton’s software still feels like it was built prior to the invention of mobile devices.

When you draft a new message, the message window is small and tucked into the corner. You can move it but it’s clear that the development tools used to build this are archaic.

I’m not sure how to describe it but the fonts in the Proton apps feel like they’re from the 1990s. Every email conversation I have looks like I’ve sent a message from a bbs.

When I want to work on new rules, I can’t interacted with my messages to make them. I have to have Proton web open along side Proton desktop. The clunkiness between the mail screen and the settings screen feels like a hassle and it prevents me from changing my settings.

Mail and Calendar should be different applications. I don’t know who started this trend of putting them together but my event schedule and my mail are rarely related. I like mail as a fullscreen app running all the time and I want to look at and manage my calendar in a smaller unique window. Sometimes they are related and I want them side by side to copy / paste information. Sometimes I want calendar next to my web browser. Sometimes I want calendar next to my spreadsheet or my photos.

I desperately want modern email and calendar software from this company. These are the core apps that I’m paying for and I hate using them.

Obviously I appreciate the privacy but when Proton is out here investing the vast majority of their resources in new things like AI and video calls, it seems like they don’t care about the core platform. If no changes are planned, I can’t keep using not continue to pay to be aggravated.

I'm in the process of moving back to Google calendar because of the single app problem. I've tried various workarounds, which solved some of the problems resulting from the combination of the two functions, but after more than a year of experimenting the results just aren't good enough.

I hate giving google any more data to use against me, but email is far more sensitive for me than calendar, particularly if I obfuscate calendar entries so they can't e.g. be useful to google "partners" who might want to know when I'll be out of town, or what medical conditions I might have, or similar.

Definitely agree with this. Would prefer a dedicated calendar app or at the very least the ability to open the calendar widget in a separate dedicated window when using the mail app.

Yes! This is super frustrating!

I also agree with Pere and Sean Akers, I often get emails with dates and need to check my calendar, so email and calendar side-by-side is an absolute must. It doesn't have to be a separate app, but we should be able to see an email and the calendar at the same time, just like in Outlook.

I agree with Pere, It's absolutely necessary to be able to see email and calendar side-by-side.

It's absolutely necessary to be able to see email and calendar side-by-side

I need to be able to see my email and my calendar at the same time. I need to be able to copy and paste information from an email into my calendar. Right now the only work around is using the desktop app and a browser window, which is also a pain.

I would rather have this feature than AI. **** AI.

Yes. We need this or at least allow us to open the calendar in a new window so we can see mail and calendar side-by-side.

yes yes yes! This, plus not being able to view the contacts separately (especially on MOBILE device) are the TWO REASONS WHY I CAN NO LONGER RECOMMEND PROTON TO FRIENDS AND COLLEAGUES. AAARRRGGGG!

IT IS BASIC LOGIC TO HAVE
- MAIL
- CALENDAR
- CONTACTS

ABLE TO BE VIEWED IN SEPARATE SCREENS/WINDOWS ON THE DESKTOP / MOBILE TO ENABLE USE.

apologies for caps lock, but this is how frustrating this is.

Ideally, I would like this to be separate. For example, if I am on a call with a client, I would like to be able to view my calendar, schedule appointments, and send confirmation emails all at the same time. Right now you need to jump between both views.

I created a standalone app for Proton Calendar. It's a simple web view with additional features, such as an icon that updates according to the day. It works pretty well for me. You can find it here: https://proton-calendar-app.framer.website/.

However, I believe it only works on Apple silicon, but if you would like it to work on other setups, let me know. If possible, I will try to add the following features in the future:

- Some offline supports
- Open .ics file

P.S. If there are any features you would like to see, you can submit an issue on GitHub or contribute by suggesting a pull request: https://github.com/VictorinDotNet/Proton-Calendar-macOS/

I hve a business account. I nee dto see the calendar as a stand alone or have a separate brower tab for it.

I need to see the calendar as a stand alone or separte tab in a browser

You can actually display the calendar in the Proton Mail app as well. I don't understand why you absolutely need two separate apps for that.

It's fine just the way it is.

I prefer having separate applications for my calendar and mail. It is inconvenient to be able to only view calendar or a mail view.

Furthermore, it does not make sense, that I have to open "Proton Mail", so that I can see my calendar.

It's very irritating to switch back anf forth between these two apps. i would like to have a view on calendar and mail in parallel.

It works on iOS so why not on Apple OS?

Yes please - so annoying having to close one to view the other

Please, can somebody from Proton explain, why they find it important to combine both functions in one app?
