Sheets need a "paste special" function
Sheets need a "paste special" function like all the other spreadsheet apps so that we can paste...formulas, formatting, conditional formatting, data validation. without this function I cannot really hope to move to proton sheets from google sheets which I would really like to be able to do. thanks for adding sheets finally.

Dark theme for loading and login pages
Liked so far the overall dark theme but I think it still miss some features, i.e. the login page and the loading page flash a white&bright page, so it's kinda annoying the switch between light and dark page.
The idea is that if the login/loading pages detect that you are using dark theme on the browser or in the OS, then there is no such a light pages.

Add support for LaTeX documents
Maybe the number of people who would use this feature is no enormous, but I still think there is a gap in the market that Proton could fill. Importantly, the people who would use this feature is willing to pay.
There is essentially one popular option in the market which is Overleaf, which requires a paid subscription to share a document with more than 2 people, and it is amazingly expensive (€19 monthly). Yet many people pay for it (research funds, it is the university who actually pays).
Probably this is not immediate to build, but maybe in the future...

Make all apps able to update themselves independently of app stores
Similar to what Signal does, it would be great to be able to install apps from the proton website, then update them from the app itself, without having to use the app store. This would reduce dependencies on App Stores that are run in (and potentially influenced by) authoritarian governments. Not having to trust Google Play or the Apple iStore (or whatever it's called) would be wonderful for those of us living under newly authoritarian governments, or anyone outside that country using those app stores.

Proton Boost
Could we have a Proton plan that is in-between Mail Plus and Proton Unlimited? We could call it Proton Boost. It would cost $5.99 (or if needed I suppose $6.99).
It would include features of:
+ 1 user
+ 1 custom email domain
+ 10 email aliases/addresses
+ 300 GB of storage
+ Feature access to 15 calendars
+ Feature access to 10 high-speed VPN connections
+ Feature access to Proton Drive (300 GB)
+ Proton Sentinel programStudying as a student, a plan like thus would be helpful to maintain the privacy needed but also help with the affordability!…

Sort on date of deletion (Proton Mail)
Currently there seems to be no way to sort on date of deletion meaning that when you delete a very old e-mail, you'll have to find it again using keywords if the list of deleted email is very large.

Calendar Events Notification. A Daily Mystery
What would be actually useful would be to see the actual "event" title in the email notification subject, rather than the mysterious and cryptic "Reminder: event starting on..." especialy when you have 10 of these turn up in a row.

A Decentralized, Privacy-First Digital Identity Platform to Empower Global Freedom
Dear Proton Team,
I write with excitement about an idea for a project that feels like a natural evolution of your mission: a self-sovereign digital identity solution that puts power back in users' hands, not governments'. In a world where centralized ID systems are becoming the norm, Proton could lead the charge toward true digital freedom. Allow me to outline the urgent problem, a ready-made solution, and why you're uniquely positioned to make it happen.
The Problem: Centralized IDs as a Slippery Slope to Surveillance
State-backed digital IDs promise efficiency but deliver vulnerability and control. Take the UK's "Brit Card,"…5 votes -
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.…

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…

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.

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.

General Link Tracking Protection
Hi team!
I know that removal of tracking IDs in emails is currently being worked on, and I think this is a great feature that I can't wait to see fully implemented, but I think proton can take it further and clean links outside of the proton ecosystem. There are a couple of apps that currently try to do this (Léon URL Cleaner, Link Sanitizer and, URLCheck) and they are all very immature implementations. As proton is already creating the mechanisms to complete this function from email, it wouldn't be too much of a stretch to expand the capability to…

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.

Proton Pass: Bad credentials autofill
Proton Pass often fails to present relevant login entry results when selecting credentials to populate individual login form fields.
Specifically, Proton Pass search results fails to include entries that were accessed moments ago.
For example, the current browser page should automatically trigger corresponding login entries for that domain. But they often don't. So you have to manually search for the right login entry. This happens with mobile browsers.
For example, you can select a login item for the username field. But then the login entry fails to appear in the recent list when populating the password field.
There's a very…

More granular access controls for Family/Organization plans
I would love to see more fine-grained access controls in the Family and Organization management dashboard.
Right now, the admin can only enable or disable certain features for the whole group, but it would be extremely helpful to assign specific permissions or benefits to individual members. For example, instead of just restricting the entire Family/Organization account from using a certain feature, the admin could decide who has access to which subscription benefits (e.g., VPN, Drive storage, Mail features, etc.).
This would make the Family/Organization plans much more flexible and customizable, and it would ensure that every member gets the right…
