Contact Application
I suggest that Proton develop a contact application similar to the Contact application that Apple has.

Stand alone app - not integrated into mail. Same for calendar.

Please add a contacts app for Android and iPhone. I want to leave Google Contacts.

It's real sad to see this is still not available (to my understanding it has been a requested feature/app since many years)
I would really love to have this

Standalone app for iOS/Android + web access.
Cross-device sync of contacts via Proton’s E2EE.
Encrypted fields: phone, email, addresses, notes, birthdays, tags.
Birthday auto-integration: each birthday automatically creates an event in Proton Calendar.
Smart groups & tags (e.g., family, work, projects).
Integration with Proton Mail & Calendar.
Optional (with user consent): linking to third-party messengers (WhatsApp, Telegram, Signal) for quick communication.
Advanced Features (to stand out):
Contact history: encrypted log of previous communications (mail, calendar invites).
Secure attachments: add encrypted documents/photos to a contact profile.
Relationship mapping: visualize connections between contacts (teams, companies, families).
Emergency sharing: allow secure, time-limited sharing of specific contact details (e.g., medical contact info).
Multi-profile support: separate personal/professional contact spaces within one app.
Security/Technical Specs:
End-to-end encryption for all fields and metadata.
Zero-knowledge architecture (only user can access/decrypt).
Granular permissions: user chooses what fields sync with external apps.
Encrypted backups across devices.
Open standard support (CardDAV with Proton’s encryption layer).
With Proton Mail, Calendar, Drive, and Pass already in place, Contacts is the missing pillar for a complete and privacy-first productivity suite. This app would be a real alternative to Google/Apple Contacts and elevate Proton’s ecosystem.
If you agree Proton should prioritize this, please upvote!

Hi Proton could you be clear and provide any kind of feedback whether this is something YOU will implement or not. It feels like this forum is disconnected from Protonmail. There is never ANY real feedback from Protonmail with user requests going unanswered for a long time. This leads to clear frustration in the community. Many people have voted for this feature, the Original post was 17 months ago.
I'm aware they are busy looking changes but there is a clear disconnect between this uservoice and the Proton roadmap. Could we add more structure to the votes, and a deadline for replying to votes please.
Thanks DK -

I would love to be able to switch from storing contacts with Google to storing contacts with Proton. This plus fully integrating Standard Notes will free me up to fully detach from Google aside from maintaining Gmail account to login to YT.

This application is essential, and the wait for it is starting to feel long.

Yes please. Right now I self-host with Baikal and that shouldn't be the case. This should be part of the Proton ecosystem.

Specifically synchronising my phone contacts to Proton, rather than Google, would be most welcome.

I am looking for a contact management app that is as robust as the one in Microsoft Outlook. Additionally, it should enable users to choose which information automatically syncs with the native contact apps on Android and iPhone devices.

One that repliacates Google contacts would be great. I am an Android user. I have to go into the ProtonMail App on phone, scroll down to contacts and select. A dedicated app would be great for the eco system. Maybe similar to proton pass but for contacts.

This is really a need. Also that the contacts can be used for the cellphone list to serve as a base to other communication with the phone!
