  1. Auto-lock for all apps and platforms

    I would appreciate it if all Proton apps had the auto-lock feature on all platforms.

    And please include following options for the timeout:

    • Custom timeout value
    • Lock on system lock
    • Lock when browser closed

    So it would be great if we could set the Auto-lock timeout in all Proton applications on all platforms to a custom value.

    Also the option to lock the app only whenever I lock the device or close the browser would be a great feature.

  2. Stop with politics

    I just read your newsletter. I don't care what Proton thinks of Ukraine or Covid or any other issue going on in the planet. I want an email service. That is all. Don't give money to any causes, use it to improve your services. Keep your opinions out of it. Leave giving to causes to your individual employees or owners. I am seriously considering leaving your service if you don't stop this virtue signaling madness.

  3. Proton RSS Reader

    It would be great if Proton (or really anyone) implemented a competitor to cloud based feed readers like Inoreader and Feedly that used encryption to synchronize the read/unread state and collection of feeds.

    I use Inoreader and I love Inoreader, but I would prefer if I could get a client side RSS reader with an end-to-end encrypted synchronization mechanism.

  4. Don't use Proton username when sending calendar invites

    I use custom domains, partly to avoid giving any personal information to services that don't need it, and partly as an added layer of security for my Proton account. I've never (intentionally) shared my Proton username with anyone. I noticed when sending a calendar invite that it included my Proton username. Can we either get a separate field for invites, or can this be updated to use the existing user-specified display name field?

  8. Free-standing contacts app for Android

    I would really like to see a Free-standing Android contacts app which would allow contacts (WITH a PIN) to be displayed without opening the PM mail. I use my contacts to track all kinds of information other than email addresses and phone numbers. On my Android phone it is a pain to unlock and open the mail app, then scroll down to contacts to get some information (like an address). A free-standing app, similar to the calendar app, would solve this issue.

  9. 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?

  11. Proton Git

    I store a lot of code on git, and it would be great if there was a privacy focused git, that didn't use my code to train AI (looking at you Github). Selfhosting is not a option for me as I need to have a reliable option for work.

  12. Global Option to Disable All "AI" Features

    I would like an account-wide single toggle to disable "AI" features everywhere. I know they're not going to go away, but I never want to use them, and do not want them anywhere near my data. Rather than needing to be constantly on the lookout for when related 'features' are added and needing to continually check to see if there's something I need to turn off, I just want a single setting where I can turn it off and know that no new or existing "AI" features will be turned on without action from me first.

    I really don't care…

  13. Proton Antivirus

    An antivirus service could be a great addition for the ProtonMail community and many others in coming years. It could go as an extension with the VPN service and/or Mail.

  14. Crowdfund Linux parity

    Run a crowdfunding campaign to put complete Linux parity on the Proton roadmap. This will allow customers and potential customers to demonstrate support more tangibly than with suggestions and votes.

    It is clear from broad and specific suggestions here on UserVoice that there is customer demand for improved Linux support. I can only assume that you are lacking concrete evidence for the SIZE of the demand. This is the intended purpose of crowdfunding campaigns.

    This is a specific, actionable suggestion to provide a solid business case for Linux support. It would also provide potential customers with confidence that Linux support…

  15. HIPAA compliance certification

    Many doctors would like a way to communicate securely with their patients. Doctors don't know how to evaluate products such as ProtonMail - they rely on certifications from 3rd-party agencies that the product meets HIPAA requirements.

  16. Location sharing with family, friends, groups

    Google maps and Apply Find My allow sharing my location with family for friends. I like feature but not the tracking by big tech.

    Being able to privately share my location similar to Apple Find My will help include my partner, children, friends.

    This is helpful for emergency situations or to coordinate activities. Also consider an optional, temporary geofence to let us know when someone has arrived or departed near us.

  17. Inactive account policy - keep account when deleting data

    Hello proton team

    I have a new suggestion regarding the inactive account policy. Instead of permanently deleting a user's account if they haven't logged in for a year, I propose an alternative approach.

    The idea is to delete their data while keeping the account itself, which would minimize costs for Proton. In the event that the user logs in again at a later time, they would login to an empty account (like if they just created it), but at least they won't lose their email address.

    A lot of users keep a protonmail account as a recovery email for other…

  18. A built in document scanner in Proton Drive

    Try to scan a document to store in a safe place like Proton Drive. It's a huge vunerability in privacy by using a scanning app. What is the point of storing data safe when the data is already given elsewhere by a scanner app who needs I don't know how many permissions plus send data to unknown vendors.
    Inwould love to see a scanning tool built into Proton Drive.

  19. Proton SMS Forwarder

    What's the point of having @passmail.net aliases to hide&forward e-mails to your @proton mailbox if you can get spammed on your phone number registered on the same website ?

    I'd want a Proton SMS Forwarder app that would have the following features :
    1° Transfer SMS, MMS and push notifications to my proton mailbox / to a dedicated proton cloud / to another phone ;
    2° Transfer through smtp / api / WIFI (not onty through 4G/5G, except for MMS obviously)
    3° App on Phone + PC Desktop version with a SIMCard Reader / eSim
    4° Where possible : possibility…

  20. Personal Data Removal

    A new service focused around removing personal data from sites like TruePeopleSearch and Whitepages. Since the whole idea of Proton is focused around privacy, I believe it would make a great addition to the current services provided by Proton. It would make it a perfect tool for new users who getting into privacy control and for current users who are serious about their privacy. Let me know what you guys think!
