Markdown notes app
Markdown app request
A secure, private markdown notes app would:
* Open new revenue opportunities
* Extend Proton’s privacy ecosystem
* Expand customer's digital workflows
* Leverage existing encryption technology
* Clearly meet user demand (well, at least mine)
* Reinforce the promise of “privacy by design.”I am using Obsidian and really like it, yet unencrypted notes on my devices is a significant concern.

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.…

Allow Admin access to be granted to second user on Proton Duo or Family plan
I've looked around online and I see that it is possible to have multiple Admin accounts for accounts using the Proton business plans. However, I wasn't able to find this same option when I go to "Manage Family Group or "Users and Addresses" in my settings.
I would really appreciate the ability to grant Admin access for my partner so that they can add email addresses or change account settings without my permission.

Email notifications for specific senders
I like receiving notifications on my phone for new emails but wish I could select WHICH senders activate notifications, leaving them off for everyone else. That is very important to me so I don't miss client e-mails.

a decentralized app store
Similar to apkmirror or aurora store, it could work cross-platform, so we don't have to use Google on Android, Microsoft on Windows, or if one simply wants to explore apps, without border restrictions, it could link the vpn to the store so it doesn't apply changes due to where your Google account is based or geolocation

Subject: Feature proposal – “Proton Phone” built on Pixel 7
Hi Proton Team,
I’m a long‑time Proton user and recently explored turning a Pixel 7 into a dedicated “Proton phone” that makes Proton Mail, VPN, Drive, Pass, and Calendar the native, system‑level experience.
Key points of the concept:
- Hardened OS base (GrapheneOS) with verified boot and Titan M security.
- Proton apps installed as system apps for privileged permissions.
- Auto‑connect Proton VPN with kill‑switch, default mail/calendar handlers, and a unified “Proton Settings” UI.
- Optional Magisk module for seamless OTA updates of Proton apps.
- Full‑device encryption, firewall rules, and minimal bloatware.I’ve drafted a step‑by‑step implementation plan and would…

Secure native integration of Proton services together and with external services (granular consent & scoped tokens)
Many privacy‑focused users including myself run several Proton services alongside automation platforms such as Make and Home Assistant. Because Proton does not yet expose a secure, granular API, we have to resort to work‑arounds:
Forward selected Proton Mail messages to a Gmail account.
Let Make read that Gmail inbox, filter the messages, and then push the extracted data into Google Calendar or other third‑party services.As a result, Google (or any other intermediary) ends up with full visibility of the forwarded emails, and Make gains access to the entire mailbox, not just the specific messages we intended to share.
These steps defeat the…9 votes -
Proton Phone with ProtonOS and Integrated AI
I would like to suggest a Proton Phone that runs either on a dedicated ProtonOS or a Proton-customized Android. This phone would feature a system-wide AI assistant like LUMO and have all Proton services—Mail, VPN, Calendar, Drive, Proton Pass, and more—fully integrated from the start.
By replacing default services like Google with Proton equivalents (e.g., Proton Pass for passwords), users would have full privacy across the entire device and enhanced security options. Such a phone would provide a seamless, secure, and privacy-focused experience, making it much easier to manage subscriptions and Proton services.
This could represent a major step forward…

Emergency access - read-only, customizing what they can see/access
1) https://proton.me/blog/emergency-access nor https://proton.me/support/emergency-access explains if emergency contact can change account password/key which they have accessed (taking over account). It does not explain any other protections.
2) Also the account owner should be able to limit emergency user access to read-only, maybe just for a limited time like 1-2 years, during which owner has ability to reset the emergency user access and they have to request again.
3) Owner should be able to limit access only to some services, like for example Drive or even certain folder of a Drive or Mail. This possibility I have not seen announced in…

Add the open models by OpenAI to Lumo
OpenAI's new open models seem to be significantly better than the current models offered by Lumo. By integrating these new models I believe Lumo can become even more useful.

Hardware security key for Authenticator app
Physical FIFO key like Yubi key for Authenticator App. I currently do use the Yubi Key Authenticator app but would switch to Proton if it used a physical key.

Encryption keys
Would it be possible to implement a function for re-encryption with a new key, both for email keys and the account key?
Also, one more thing – it would be great to have the option to reinitialize Proton Drive or Lumo AI directly from the settings. Currently, changing keys requires contacting support, which could be avoided with this feature.

Virtualization like QubesOS DVMs--to protect the masses from the impending AI Spear-Phishing Swarms (Heiding et al., 2025).
Recent research shows with a little development, modern LLMs can be used to fully automate spear-phishing campaigns-- from reconnaissance to email and evaluation.
These atracks work as well as human hacking experts with 54% success.
This also makes it way more profitable.
Average non-QubesOS users need virtualization like disposable VMs in QubesOS.

Android Device encryption and protection
I think it would be a game changer if proton would get in more involved with Android devices. Android is after all as they claim allegedly open source.. but Google it is let me have all your data and we will do this for you?? The biggest thing Google claims to be able to encrypt your entire device from your Google account in their password manager section of security. Why not be able to encrypt it by the best proton?? Full device encryption???? More integration into the Android ecosystem. or even something similar to Graphene OS?? If proton were ever…

SimpleLogin alias whitelist
Hi,
I really appreciate the ability to mute or block individual senders for a given alias in SimpleLogin, it's incredibly useful. I’d love to see a complementary feature: the ability to whitelist specific senders instead.
Specifically, it would be great to have a "whitelist mode" toggle for aliases, where all incoming messages are muted or blocked by default, and only explicitly whitelisted addresses are allowed through, mirroring the current muting functionality, but in reverse.
By the way, I think SimpleLogin is absolutely fantastic. It has completely transformed how I manage my digital life across email, newsletters, apps, and beyond. Huge…

User Voice duplicate ideas causing split of votes
Using this forum, proton's uservoice you can find multiple post requesting the exact same missing feature which makes it difficult to vote. Having eventually the votes for a similar feature request split into many posts and never get enough votes.

Proton meet alias for organiser
I use email aliases extensively via SimpleLogin. If I send a Proton Meet invitation, however, it includes my real Proton Mail address. It should be possible to alias this, including setting a default alias
