1. Add support for Skills

   I suggest Proton Lumo adopt Skills from (for example, skills.sh) as a lightweight way to package predefined trusted, domain-specific knowledge into small, reusable text modules. In practice, a Skill gives Lumo a clearer “expert lens” for a given topic, so instead of offering broad generic answers, it can respond with guidance that is more grounded, consistent, and relevant to the user’s actual question.

   This matters for Proton Lumo because users will judge the product on whether it feels genuinely helpful in everyday moments. Skills can make Lumo better at explaining complex topics in plain language, guiding people through sensitive or unfamiliar tasks with more confidence, and reducing the frustration of vague or repetitive answers. For end users, that means a product that feels more useful, more trustworthy, and more worth returning to when they need reliable help.

2. Van AI to PI*

   Subject: Feature Request: From "AI" to "PI" – The Solution for Persistent Context
   Dear Proton & Lumo Team,

   I am writing to you as a user who values Lumo for its privacy, but who is stuck on a fundamental design issue: Digital Amnesia.

   My Context: After a serious motorcycle accident in 2008 (traumatic brain injury, coma), I had to rebuild my entire life from scratch. For me, continuity is not a luxury—it is a necessity. When Lumo "forgets" who I am with every new session, it feels like losing my identity all over again.

   The Problem: The Bell Without the Clapper There is a Dutch saying: "You've heard the bell ring, but you don't know where the clapper hangs."

   The Bell: Proton has built the secure vault (Zero-Access Encryption).
   The Clapper: The functionality to connect chats and preserve context is missing.
   The Result: A secure system that cannot form a personal relationship.
   My Analysis & Solution: The "π-Vault" Strategy You say you listen to smart customers. Here is my proposal for a solution that respects privacy AND provides continuity, without Proton needing to hold the key:

   Separate the layers:
   Lumo (AI): The secure, static engine (for developers).
   π (Pi): The Personal Intelligence (for the user).
   Implementation:
   Allow users to create a "Context Vault" in Proton Drive (an encrypted file containing their personal profile, history, and preferences).
   Add a "Load Context" button in the chat.
   Workflow: User opens Lumo → Pastes the content of their "π-Vault" → Lumo immediately "knows" who the user is again.
   The Benefit:
   Privacy: Proton never sees the data (it remains encrypted in Drive).
   Control: The user decides what is remembered.
   Dignity: No "new chat" with a "new stranger," but a continuation of life.
   My Questions for the Team:

   Is this a feasible architecture for Lumo?
   What does the "Star Button" (Favorite) do exactly? Does it preserve context permanently, or is it just a visual marker?
   Can you share a roadmap for a "Persistent Memory" or "Context Linking" feature?
   Conclusion: I am willing to pay for a Loyal Valet, not a one-time chatbot. Let Lumo be the engine, and let the user be the keyholder of their own intelligence.

   Listen to the "smart customer." The clapper is ready. Hang it up.

   Sincerely,

   [Rik van de Loenhorst] Survivor & Advocate for Personal Intelligence

3. Catnip mode: an expert mode for advanced users (ie ‘go crazy’ basically)

   I know I’m missing other features and whatnot, but hopefully this idea is somewhat helpful.

   So…catnip mode. When toggled on (default off) in a new Developer Settings menu, this mode will unlock additional parameters:

   Catnip/developer setting panel:
   - Toggle proton system prompt instructions off (default on), allowing a custom instruction set (open weights by design have native guardrails as is, reduce overhead)
   - Ideally, the developer setting should allow us to see the system prompt that Proton uses (increase transparency)

   Lumo chat area:
   - Ability to explicitly select models
   - Brief description of model, recommended use when hovering over model selection
   - Ability to see open model weights (increase transparency)
   - Conversation/session context
   - Ability to see token use, limit/remaining tokens

   Model Panel:
   - Advanced parameters and profiles
   - Create up to 5 profiles per model
   - Personalization prompt
   - Temperature, P, K, penalties, A, etc.
   - Response format
   - Max output tokens

   API:
   - Add any of the above features that may not currently be available in the API being developed (most notably specific model selection and system prompt)
   - Current GitHub as of posting has model IDs: auto, lumo-fast, lumo-thinking

   The intent is to leave the current environment for general users, however, open it up to advanced users looking for serious use cases.

4. Tag organization for Lumo chats

   It would be useful to be able to organize chats via tags.

   The user could tag chats with multiple tags such as #job, #recipes, #travel and then could see all the chats with those tags.

   Lumo could even auto-tag chats too - that'd be super neat if possible!

5. Really needs image OCR

   There are a lot of image processing requests here. All basically requesting the same thing with different wording. Moderators should combine them to increase the votes. Basically we need Optical Character Recognition for uploaded images, and some PDFs that contain bitmaps. On a cell phone, this is critical and the primary reason I rarely use lumo. Being able to upload a screenshot of a log file, or a code routine, or a medical lab result and have it convert to text and analyze it is really needed. Every other big name model has this ability, but I am sure you already know this.

6. Calendar - Make today stand out a bit more

   I use the calendar in month view and sometime find myself scanning for todays date. In this view with many events being displayed the simple ring round the date doesn't really jump out.
   My old google calendar (which I'm trying to get away from) has today inverted which I find much more visible. Looking at it now, it is a solid blue circle with white text, I personally find it very easy to find.
   I'd just like today highlighted a little more strongly than it is now please.

7. save transcript as pdf

   I've come to appreciate the capabilities of online research using your AI assistant Lumo and use it quite often and also find some of the resulting conversations interesting enough to save.

   However, the format produced by copying the transcript to the clipboard is rather unattractive, which is why I ultimately then ask Lumo to output the text again in Markdown format so I can then convert it to finally to pdf.

   It would be very helpful if Lumo also offered a button to perform these operations automatically and make the resulting file available for download.

8. Local information

   It's absolutly infuriating that lumo helps me with medical papers, documents and more and i constantly need to remind lumo to not use the wrong format. Why is there no option to set a default for this? As much as i understand everyone want to use different date format, i do not understand how this justfiy to not have the option to change basic information. Because it's extremly annoying and absurd and even more that each time i ask lumo something, lumo assumes i am in the USA. Is there something i am not aware of? Is proton actually owned by USA companies? How does privacy work when the AI assumes i am in USA despite me CONSTANTLY remind i am not. This is absolutly absord. Especially when it comes to anything to do with products, i get USA products??? Also Lumo is showing me USA prices ($) that are then converted to my currency because, even if the OUTPUT is "corrected based on location", the so called "system" still assumes, i am in USA, so because i can not correct it, i still get results, by default, from the USA. It's absolutly infuriating how this basic element is NOT adressed. I don't know what stuff other people do with lumo, but what i am asking is an option, it's not a complet rework. It's a simple "use this format".

   EDIT:

   Just now, lumo was thinking about me asking to correct the date. And in the "Thought about this" I see this line:

   "In ISO format (YYYY-MM-DD), this would be April 7, 2026."

   This is from lumo's "Thought about this". As in Lumo can not even use a correct format even when explicitly saying it in the "Thought about this". This line is COPY PASTE. This is how bad it is. Please add options for us to change because this is ridiculous.

   EDIT 2:

   I censored my location (i just replaced it with an "-" but it's in Europe

   The user is pointing out that I keep saying "April 7" but the file name says "04-07" which could be interpreted differently. In -, 04-07 would be 4th of July, not April 7th. In US format, 04-07 would be April 7th.

   But the user is in the -. So 04-07 in - format would be July 4th, not April 7th.

   I've been reading "04-07" as US format (April 7) when the user is in the - where dates are written DD-MM (day-month).

   I want to repeat, this is an "Thought about this", meaning i have 0 control over this none sense where Lumo is obsseds with USA dates and USA formats. Insted of realising that the issue is that Lumo keep using month day, insted of day month, Lumo is trying to figure out what the issue is using USA format.

   To proton, please fix this absordity by introducing the options, to let us chose the defaults for our accounts.

   I already have comunication dificulties, and the last thing i need is lumo not know the difference between the 04 of 07 and 07 of 04 because it is mixing up the formats for dates. (also the 04-07 is because i pasted a large copy paste, but it was 2026-04-07, yet lumo is still writting it like April 7, 2026 so no, it's not an "mistake", Lumo is really bugged.

9. Lumo integration with Proton Meet for accessibility (live auto-captions)

   Perhaps Lumo could be used in Meet to provide live captioning for hard of hearing/Deaf folks to be able to follow along.

   Having a meeting platform that is a) affordable/free b) accessible and c) privacy-minded would be incredible. I haven't found a single platform that meets all of those criteria well, and if you make this happen, you would be giving the world a gift. Thanks!

10. Better transparency for Lumo answer - Show Groundedness, Factuality score per answer

    Proton Lumo AI should not only be private, but also fair and transparent about its answers.
    I propose adding simply statistics to each answer derived from the metadata that is already present. E.g. a single bar going from green to red that show the likelihood of an answer being well founded (groundedness score) or something similar to a F1 score. In my opinion this matches the transparency that Proton is providing for all its products. Similar to how Proton uses Open Source code, it should also aim for maximum transparency of Lumo AI answers. This makes Lumo even better than it already is. I know I can ask Lumo to provide these statistics to me, but to make it visual using one or two metrices would be much more intuitive to work with and would make Lumo fit even better with Protons product ethics.

11. Option to pin lumo's messages in a side panel.

    Similar to how we can pin messages in Discord or how we can put bullet/pages in Logseq's side panel.
    It's kinda difficult browsing long conversations in Lumo.
    Pinning important messages would allow easy access without filling up the conversation even more.
    The side panel could be similar to the already built in chat knowledge panel.

12. Proton should train two small specialized models for Lumo

    Hey, I know Proton isn't an AI lab and training models is hard. Wishlist post, not a demand. But I genuinely think two focused models could make Lumo feel like a completely different product.

    Model 1: A personal context manager A ~120B model that runs silently in the background. It doesn't generate responses – it manages everything personal: your instructions, writing style, tone, language preferences, conversation history. But instead of naively loading a million tokens every time, it would compress and score your memory – keeping what's relevant, quietly dropping what isn't – and then brief the main model before it replies. You'd never have to repeat yourself, and your customizations would actually feel like they matter.

    And here's where it gets interesting: this model could also be how Proton finally ships memory across chats. After each conversation, it reads through what was said, extracts new preferences, interests, habits, or anything worth remembering, and stores that as encrypted memory. Proton has already hinted at persistent memory being on the roadmap – this architecture would be a natural way to build it, and doing it in-house means your personal data stays encrypted and never touches a third-party model. That's a big deal for a privacy-first product.

    Model 2: A smart router and tool-calling model A ~70–120B model with 128K context, trained specifically for orchestration. The reason it needs to be this size: routing properly isn't just picking a model from a list – it requires genuine multi-step reasoning. It needs to figure out what your request actually needs, whether it requires web search, which tools to chain and in what order, and which model is best suited for that specific task. It's similar to how ChatGPT dynamically switches between instant and extended thinking – except this goes further by routing between entirely different AI models. Smaller models just don't reason well enough across multiple steps to do this reliably.

    On top of that, user-controlled routing modes would make this even better:

    • Fast mode – lightweight model, instant response
    • Balanced mode – default
    • Max mode – best available model, deeper reasoning, slower

    That kind of control fits perfectly with Proton's power-user audience.

    Curious if anyone else thinks this direction makes sense, or if there are smarter ways to approach it.

    (Used AI to help structure my thoughts, the ideas are mine though.)

13. Lumo Scheduling Automation

    I went down the rabbit hole of trying to create a scheduled web search on specifict topics. Lumo repeatedly told me it had automation to do this but when I tried to set it up it ended up apologising each time saying it got a bit excited but can't do what it said it could...
    Functionality request - automation that will run a scheduled task/search/etc

15. Enable Lumo to run locally

    Enable to run Lumo models locally on a computer or laptop, this would enable users to better handle private information, increace speeds (by not needing to have the data travel across the internet continuously) and reduce load on Proton servers.
    This could happen with a standalone app or integrating it with other systems such as LM Studio or Msty Studio

    AI needs standalone apps - too burdensome and hard to navigate in browser tabs.

19. Selecting multiple tasks pressing ctrl/cmd and moving them at once

    Sometimes I have a cluster of tasks planned in a day and I move them one by one to another tim. Instead I would love to be able to press and hold CTRL while I click on these and then move them all at once keeping their relative position to each other in bulk.

20. Humble Suggestion to Enhance the User Experience of Local Processing Mode

    Gratitude and Acknowledgment
    First and foremost, please allow us to express our deepest gratitude to the development team for the excellence already demonstrated in the design of Lumo. The integrated privacy features and the existing Local Mode are a testament to a remarkable commitment to user data protection.

    1. Current Context (Respectful Observation)
       We have observed that switching between Local Mode and Web Mode currently requires navigating through the privacy settings. We fully understand that this design responds to security requirements and clarity of intent, which we commend.

    2. Proposal for Contribution
       In a spirit of collaboration and service to users, we humbly suggest the integration of a dedicated switch for "Local Mode" directly on the main interface, coexisting with Web Mode.

    The goal is to make this feature as immediately visible and accessible as the "Incognito/Private" icon in modern web browsers. Rather than navigating through menus, the user should be able to activate or deactivate this secure mode in a single gesture from the main conversation screen.

    Suggested Technical Characteristics:

    Strategic Placement: A switch or icon located in the sidebar or header of the application, within immediate reach.
    Independent Page: Activating Local Mode would open an independent window or tab, creating a clear visual separation between the "Local" and "Web" environments. This isolation would reinforce the perception of confidentiality and prevent any confusion between the two modes.
    Immediate Visibility: A clear visual indicator (change in color or icon) instantly signaling the active mode (Local vs. Web).
    Ease of Use: Activation in a single click, without complex menu paths, facilitating a fluid transition according to immediate needs.
    Contextual Preference: An option to remember the last used mode or define a default mode based on the user's context.
    4. Potential Added Value
    Benefit Impact
    Fluidity Reduction of configuration time from several minutes to a few seconds
    Adoption Encouragement to use Local Mode more frequently due to ease of access
    Transparency Better visibility for the user regarding the active level of confidentiality
    Experience Alignment with modern application UX standards
    5. Security Considerations (Respect for Existing Principles)
    We are aware that any interface modification must preserve the underlying security:

    Switching must trigger an immediate purge of memory data from the previous mode.
    An explicit confirmation must be requested before any transition to Web Mode (to avoid involuntary errors).
    The history of mode changes can be logged locally for traceability, without storing conversation content.
    6. Respect for the Existing Roadmap
    We fully recognize that the development team already has an established roadmap. This suggestion is formulated in a spirit of voluntary contribution, without presuming urgency or priority. We would be honored if this idea could be considered during future reflection cycles, according to what best fits the product's overall vision.

    1. Humble Conclusion We wish to reiterate our appreciation for the work accomplished by Proton. This proposal is merely one contribution among others, formulated with the utmost respect for the team's expertise and vision.
