How can we improve Proton Mail or Calendar?

'See events for the whole month without having to individually select days' has been merged into this idea

Weekly/Monthly view (and more..) in mobile calendar app

Weekly/Monthly view (and more..) in mobile calendar app.

I think we need some more views in mobile calendar app to make us better experience, instead of just Schedule View and Daily View. Especially when you are/try to move from other calendar app.

In here or Reddit I saw different opinion and I would like to wrap it up with mine here.

Views we need:
- Weekly Schedule View (Google Calendar schedule view style)
- Weekly Timeline View (Outlook Calendar schedule view style)
- Weekly Vertical view (Muji Schedule Planner style)
- Monthly Schedule View (Google Calendar schedule view style)
- Monthly Expansion View (Fantasical and Timetree montly view style)
- Option to switch between schedule view and event expansion view maybe

Different people use different view style depends on their schedule tightness, imo I sometimes switch between them in Outlook and Timetree.

If the schedule is tight in a week I will switch to weekly vertical view (Muji/Google style), to have a better hourly view, and the opposite, switch back to monthly expansion view(Fantastical style) to have more monthly control and know where/when to put my new task.

Also I think there are importance to share calendar with Family, but that's another topic I won't go though here.

Feel free to leave more opinion to discuss and let Proton know how well we want it.

    To me views are the most important reason not to move to Proton Calendar yet. I find the views in A calendar+ so much easier in daily use. On mobile (Android), I need a monthly calendar where you can see all the titles directly (like in Proton web). And on mobile and web a weekly calendar option that has a list of entries per day, instead of a vertical view, or a 5-day workweek view. And a list view of course, it's there in the widget, so why not in the mobile app?
    And things would improve greatly with a setting for visible hours of the day (e.g. 7.00-23:00h).
    I really want to leave Google calendar since calendar data are such a privacy sensitive thing, but Proton Calendar doesn't seem to be a priority and this is the one thing stopping me from switching to a paid Proton subscription.

    The list of things that would make life that bit easier for me, but are missing from this calendar, grows longer. I looked for this today and can't believe it's not a feature. I might have to switch. Switch BACK to the dark side, that is. I can't honestly rate this omission as critical, but the cumulative effect of so many minor and middling snags is close to being critical for this user.

    If a 'schedule view' is too complicated to implement fast, adding some extra standard views shouldn't be too hard? Like one for three consecutive days and one for the regular workweek (mon-fri). That would make things more workable for a lot of people already.

    Dear Proton-Team
    I experimented with the Proton Calendar App. I think the layout could easily be improved. Have you had a look at acalendar+? There is a weekly, monthly and daily layout, week numbers, ... I would appreciate the similar layout/look for proton calendar. Maybe this is possible.

    This would be so incredibly simple to implement. Would make the desktop sidebar and the mobile apps much more usable.

    Please please please give us a schedule view. It's so impracical without it. And be able to filter the schedule view by calendar selected.

    This is the main view I use in Google Calendar. It's a must have on mobile. It kinda puzzle me that this is available in for the widget but not the main app.

  • KoKo commented  ·   ·  Report

    I need this so badly! Schedule view is what I mainly used in goo cal.

  • Fran Gelfand commented  ·   ·  Report

    The lack of a comparable “schedule view” in the Proton Calendar app is the *one* thing keeping me from switching from Google Calendar app.

  • WM commented  ·   ·  Report

    Yes - schedule view or event view, whatever you want to call it would be great. Also the option to print it is needed. It's nice to use the recurring event features to setup key events throughout the year and then be able to have that on paper for quick reference when not in front of a screen.

    aCalendar (Android app) also has a brilliant week view to be inspired from!

    @Juraj Bednar Your screenshot is from Informant. I use it a lot. ProtonCalendar I love to use on Mac with its Proton Mail & Calendar currently in beta.
    However, month view on mobile needs more brush up. It is good we have month view at all, but...
    Besides, when adding description, one cannot click ENTER to go to another line on iOS.
    More colors are needed for events. In Informant I can choose whatever color I like.

    I really really really think we need a 3-day view, similar to Google Calendar. One day is too limited, and the week view can be overwhelming.

    And if it could be easily integrated as Google Cal is with the one-click "add to calendar" button, that would be absolutely amazing!

    A quarterly view would help a lot.

    I agree with the comments & ticket. For me the #1 issue left is a month view widget for Android or iOS. I believe this was asked for in the comments of the widget issue, but it was marked as completed without adding the month view.
    Been waiting years for this feature!

  • fsbof commented  ·   ·  Report

    The week view I find helpful is 8 boxes in two columns of four (1 box for each day and the last a simple month calendar to help navigate). With only events and their times in each day rather than crowding the view with all possible time slots.

  • daenschi commented  ·   ·  Report

    Viewing all events per day in a month view is already possible in my proton calendar android app. However in the iOS app this feature is not implemented. Hopefully this feature will come soon.

    Hey,

    I would like to see a better and more usable calendar view in the mobile app. Currently I see a month with dots on days where there are events and I have to click on a day to see the events. there is a better view, even on small screens that would be way more useful - expanding the calendar view on days and showing the events there.

    This is how it could look on iOS (the app is called busycal):
    https://drive.proton.me/urls/KCF4V3J0TR#CyQhor9MHhhC

    This is how it could look in a browser (same app, desktop version):
    https://drive.proton.me/urls/1XD4RDT89R#DiOLJHWDhrPA

    It is a much better use of space and I have the whole agenda at a glance - I see which days I am travelling, which days I have meetings, which days are more or less empty. Then I click on a date and I see detailed view, but if I am trying to schedule something, this view is an absolute must. Clicking around days because there is a dot is pain.
