Request for a native macOS application. Currently, the web-only experience forces reliance on browser-based workarounds that introduce privacy risks and workflow friction. A native app would eliminate browser extension vulnerabilities and provide a seamless, secure creative workspace.

I chose Lumo specifically for its zero-access encryption and no-logs policy. However, the lack of a native macOS app creates significant barriers:

1. Browser Extension Vulnerabilities: Even with a clean browser profile, extensions with "read page content" permissions pose a theoretical risk to sensitive creative work.
2. Workflow Friction: Tab switching, bookmark clutter, and browser notifications interrupt creative flow.
3. Missing Native Features: No macOS-native shortcuts, widgets, or system integration (e.g., Spotlight search, keyboard shortcuts, menu bar access).
4. Inconsistent Experience: iOS/iPadOS has native apps, but Mac users are left with a web-only solution despite being a core Proton platform.

Why This Matters? Mac is the dominant platform for creative professionals. By excluding a native Mac app, Proton is effectively excluding a major segment of privacy-conscious users who need Lumo most.

Specific Requests:

1. Native macOS App (.dmg/.app): A standalone application that runs independently of Safari/Chrome, eliminating browser extension risks.
2. macOS Integration: Keyboard shortcuts (Cmd+K for quick actions) Menu bar access for quick prompts Widgets for iOS/Mac (like the iOS widget mentioned in Proton's documentation) Spotlight search integration
3. Offline Caching: Ability to access recent chat history locally (encrypted) when internet is unavailable.
4. Push Notifications: Native macOS notifications for Lumo Plus features or important updates.

Comparison to Competitors? Most AI assistants (ChatGPT, Claude, etc.) offer native desktop apps for Mac. Proton's privacy-first positioning should lead in this area, not lag.

Why Now? With Lumo's growth and Proton's commitment to the "EuroStack" initiative, a native Mac app would demonstrate leadership in privacy-first AI tools for professional users. It would also align with Proton's existing native apps (Mail, Drive, Pass, VPN) that all have macOS versions.

Impact? A native Mac app would:
1. Eliminate browser-based attack vectors for sensitive work
2. Improve creative workflow efficiency
3. Attract professional writers and enterprises to the Proton ecosystem
4. Complete the cross-platform parity (iOS, Android, Mac, Web)
