Commit to remaining free of any and all AI tools
Proton, so far, has been a bastion of "the Internet we actually wanted". This is why it was so disheartening to see that the company is now seriously considering integrating GenAI into its suite of tools.
As the tide of big tech moves toward forcing AI tools into the face of every user, the existence of a platform that is explicitly not doing this is a breath of fresh air. There is no reason to "innovate for the sake of innovation". Let your competitors waste their time and energy being late to the party with the 80th, 90th, and 100th…

Proton Pay: Safe and secure payment processor as alternative for Gpay/ApplePay
Hello Dev-Team,
I'm not happy with the limitation to big-data collectors when I want to use my smartphone for payments in the supermarket.
Is there a way to tamper the payment or develop an own payment processing system?306 votes -
Domain Hosting
Firstly, a great product folks! Keep up the good work.
How would you feel about hosting domains so we can have our company emails encrypted? It would save set up fees and obviously we'd just point our mail records at your servers.....

Migrate to quantum resistant algorithms
Quantum computing breaking common cryptography algorithms is a future problem that will affect all data that is stolen/collected now and that contains sensitive information we may NEVER want to share

Proton Family pricing options
I'm happy to see the newly released Proton Family plan! I've been waiting around for something like this for a while. However, I don't really need to support 6 users in my small family. Can we instead get pricing per member? The current pricing is about 3.33 USD per member per month, at 19.99 USD per month if you get the 2 year plan. How about flexible pricing: 2 members = 4.99 USD each, 3 members = 4.49 USD each, 4 members = 3.99 USD each, 5 members = 3.49 USD each, 6 members 3.33 USD each.

Approve login request on mobile to log in (passwordless login)
Currently when I login on my Desktop through a webbrowser on a Proton web service I need to fill-in my MFA code, instead off filling in a MFA code I wou like the possibility to get a pop-up on my Phone and approve it with bio metric validation.

Separate Mail & Calendar windows on desktop
On the Windows desktop, I'd like to be able to open Mail in one window and Calendar in another window, so I can toggle between them without losing anything I'm doing -- e.g., without having to minimize a new email or close an event. Each window would appear separately in the Taskbar (ideally with distinct icons, but identical icons would be better than nothing).
Currently, I'm faking this by installing both the current and beta versions, and using one for calendar & the other for email.

Proton DNS as a Secure, Private alternative to 8.8.8.8 or ISP / CDS
Dear Proton Team,
I recently got deep into DNS and found out that most DNS Servers out there are not very private.
Therefore I'm proposing, could be an addition to Proton VPN, a Proton DNS Server.
Examples of competitors would be 8.8.8.8 (Google), 1.1.1.1 (Cloudflare), or 94.140.14.14 (Ad-Guard DNS, the only somewhat private I could find).
This could also be the opportunity to build a CDS Network as a competitor to Cloudflare.
I'm sure this isn't an small project but this could develop into a trustworthy, private alternative in Europe against Google and Cloudflare.
Stay Safe!

Proton Keyboard for mobile devices!
This might sound silly and you're all welcome to ignore this idea, but I'd really appreciated a keyboard for my phone which values privacy, but with all the important features that a good keyboard should have, like AnySoft's (except better since that one has bugs).

Collaborative, integrated, encrypted and open source office suite
Use an already existing open source frame (like Cryptpad, OnlyOffice or Collabora Office/LibreOffice Online) to create an integrated and collaborative encrypted office suite.
Make it Open source from the very beginning and allow for the community to actively help the development and improvement of the project. Allow and encourage upstream contribution to the office projects.
(There are already three other ideas about an office suite (1. Cryptpad, 2. Onlyoffice and 3. LibreOffice. Merge the ideas into this one ?)

Proton Voice Assistant
I believe Proton Technologies has room to get in voice assistant sector seeing how Google and Alexa are constantly listening to most private conversations in peoples homes. It would great a privacy focused product that proton fans would enjoy and attract new people to proton's services.

Sign-in/log in with Proton (like OAuth 2.0)
It would be great to have this available on websites rather than sign-in with Google. I trust the Proton brand a lot more.

Official Flatpak support on Linux
Flatpak is a modern packaging format for Linux distributions, with the advantages of:
- working consistently across a wide array of distributions (thus making it much easier for developers to support any Linux distro)
- relative independence from the underlying system, making it the only distribution channel for immutable distros like Fedora Silverblue and Steam OS
- higher security due to its sandboxingAs such, it'd be great if it was officially supported by Proton for all its native applications.
It's true that the sandbox could potentially pose some limits to the app that might not be solvable via portals…

Proton Maps
A web and mobile maps-like application based on the free OpenStreetMap data. The app allows to privately search for locations, save favorite locations, get directions, and possibly share the users' location for a limited time with other Proton users. Moreover, users can create custom maps with custom paths or GPS points.

All in one desktop app
I wish instead of having 5 different services all on different platforms, all being separate entities, I wish all of the Proton Services were on one menu and one program I can download. Having to open 3 tabs for Mail, Calendar, Drive, then open an Extension or another Tab for Pass, and then a separate program for the VPN is EXTREMELY F**CKING FRUSTRATING! It's so hard to navigate.
If all of this was on one program you can download to manage all of this - Life would be miles better.

A videocall app comparable to MS Teams
No email ecosystem can nowadays exist without a videocall app.
Having to rely to external apps means setting up a calendar, copying the url etc.It would be easier to have a Proton videocall app.

Desktop App themes
It would be great to have the option for themes on the desktop app (this is available on the web version). I use the Proton theme, but the desktop app only seems to have a light mode.
Any chance we'll get more customization on the colors?
