Allow to test recovery phrase
I suggest that users can test if they saved the recovery phrase correctly. (Currently, the only option is to create a new phrase.)
Two cases where this might be helpful come to my mind:
- To check if a recovery phrase written down years ago is still the correct one. (I write recovery phrases on a paper and then usually never need them. After some years it is easily possible that paper notes get mixed up or that one is not sure about a certain character)
- To test the written down phrase immediately after creating and writing down a new one.…

Remove Delete Account button from various phone apps
It is scary how easy it is to delete an account using all these apps (Mail, Calendar, VPN, etc.) I would be super worried if I lost my phone while it is unlocked.

ProTube
Please, don't resort to YouTube for your visual content! The company has already demonstrated its complicity with American fascism by its recent settlement payout to the U.S. government. We desperately need vlogging alternatives specifically engineered to support free public discourse which cannot be undermined or compromised by bad actors.

Better widget for Proton Calendar and more colours
The Proton Calendar widget is quite limited, it would be better something more similar to what apps like Google Calendar or Notion Calendar have. There would also be more variety of colors to customize the events to your liking or at most another color palette

Instant communications
I absolutely love my proton business account. However, I would like an instant communication app with two features. One a messenger and a walkie talkie type feature such as zello. It would be great have such features to communicate with a team in real time and potential clients.

Feature Suggestion: Automated Personal Data Removal
I greatly value Proton’s commitment to protecting user privacy through your suite of encrypted services. However, I see an opportunity to enhance the user experience and strengthen Proton’s value proposition even further.
Currently, users who want to remove their personal information from the internet must manually contact data brokers, websites, and search engines ... a time-consuming and ongoing task. I suggest Proton develop a Personal Information Removal System that would:
- Scan and Identify: Automatically detect where a user’s personal data is publicly available or held by data brokers.
- Automate Removal Requests: Send verified opt-outs or deletion requests on behalf of…

Single Linux yum repo for all Proton apps
Right now the Proton VPN can be installed from a Linux yum repo. For example: https://repo.protonvpn.com/fedora-42-stable/
This is great, because to update it, all I have to do is run "sudo dnf update", and if there is a new version of Proton VPN available, it gets updated.However, all the other Proton Linux apps (Pass, Authenticator, and the Mail beta) get installed by individual rpm downloads. Which means, if I want to update them, I have to download each rpm individually and re-install it to get the upgrade.
There should be one single yum repo for ALL proton apps, so…

Tails OS and Proton AG
I'll address this as a problem, not an opinion. First, the Proton Pass and Proton VPN Tor (Firefox) extensions don't work at all on Tails OS, and no Linux apps, especially Proton Mail Bridge, work properly (in .deb format). I know Tails OS is a Linux distribution focused on security and high-level privacy, but Proton and its privacy mission are excellently supported. My journalist colleagues and I have been using Proton Mail for a long time, and it's an indispensable service for us. I urge the Proton team to address this issue as soon as possible. If possible, contact Tails…

Antivirus and firewall

Desktop Application & Chrome extension integration
Proton services and products do not integrate seamlessly and currently clash with each other. This is an issue across multiple services and not just a Proton VPN issue.
The issue specific to Proton VPN;
If both desktop application and browser extension is active at the same time, no connection is available in the browser (Vivaldi in this case, which offers built-in support for Proton VPN).Solution;
The browser extension should detect if the desktop application has an active VPN connection before attempting to create its own VPN connection. Similarly, the desktop application should detect if a browser extension is currently…3 votes -

Feature Request: Unified Sync & Health Audit Tool for Proton Apps
First, thank you for your continued work on security, privacy, and open-source transparency. Proton has built incredible trust by consistently investing in external audits and making code available for inspection.
I’d like to propose a Unified Sync & Health Audit Tool to strengthen reliability across Proton services (Mail, Drive, Pass, Calendar, Authenticator, VPN and etc). While current audits cover security and privacy, there is no integrated way for users to verify that all Proton apps are syncing correctly, consistently, and without errors across devices.
Problem
• Users sometimes experience sync delays, failed uploads, or conflicts (especially with Drive and multi-device…3 votes -
Simplify 'Move to Folder' Button
When I want to move an email to a custom folder, I have to select the folder from the drop-down menu and press 'Apply'. Rather, simply pressing the name of the custom folder should move that email to that folder, thereby removing the need to press 'Apply'.

Firefox-first Proton Scribe Browser Extension
I currently use LanguageTool, although not only did they recently switch to reCAPTCHA, they've been using Doubleclick for longer than I can remember.
As such, I'd appreciate it if there were a Proton Scribe browser extension, especially because I've been planning on upgrading to Proton Unlimited, and it would seem more worth-it if there were a writing system bundled in.
I suggest making it Firefox-first to respect users who have gone out of their way to switch away from Chromium.5 votes -
Proton Text to speech engine
How about a proton text to speech engine? There is a private one named Sherpa text to speech engine. Check here: https://github.com/k2-fsa/sherpa. The google/samsung ones are privacy nightmares. Lumo and other proton apps would have the ability to integrate with it.

Slideshow in Proton Drive - Photos
As a user, I would like to have a slideshow feature in order to play a short movie of my souvenirs of certain event.
It would be available in each album as a button next to {Add photos, download, share}, but also as an appearing button when several photos are selected.
When clicking, a small panel will appear with some default options checked and a button “launch slideshow”. The options would be about the duration of each photo, the transition effect and others (I would avoid cringe/elevators music though).
Complementary feature: this slideshow could be shared as a private video…6 votes -
app lock
This is primarily focused on the desktop version of the application. On my iOS device, I can already require Face ID, but I’d love to see enhancements to the App Lock feature in Proton Mail and Authenticator. Specifically, adding the option to use biometric authentication (fingerprint or face recognition) or a passcode would provide an extra layer of security and convenience. This would give users greater flexibility in protecting access to their 2FA codes while also aligning with best practices for securing sensitive applications.
