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.

I agree. Having to open the mail app just to access contacts adds unnecessary steps, especially if you use contacts for more than just phone numbers and email addresses. A standalone contacts app with PIN protection and quick search would make things much more convenient. It's similar to how well-designed games like Geometry Dash keep frequently used features easy to access, making the overall experience smoother and more enjoyable. check it out at https://geometrydashapkk.com/

A standalone Proton Contacts app would make a real difference for people who use contacts for more than calls and email. Being able to open addresses, notes, labels, and saved details directly from a PIN-protected app would be much faster than going through Proton Mail every time.
It would be even better if users could set it as their default Android contacts app, choose what fields sync, and keep sensitive notes hidden until the app is unlocked. Since privacy-focused tools are often used to organise many kinds of personal information, the app should stay simple, fast, and fully independent from the mailbox.

That's a really practical request—a standalone contacts app with PIN protection would save so many steps. Just the false sun. Having quick access to addresses and notes without diving into the mail app would make daily tasks much smoother.<a href="https://the-false-sun.com">just the false sun</a>

A standalone contacts app with PIN protection would definitely make things much more convenient for Android users who store important personal notes, addresses, and non-email information in their contacts. Having quick access without opening the full mail app could really improve usability and save time.
Many Android users also look for lightweight and customizable apps and games like geometry dash full apk: https://geomdashhub.com/ that offer a smoother and more accessible mobile experience.

Please do whatever you need to do to make Proton Contacts available from the Proton apps screen or the Proton Welcome screen (Windows and Android). It's annoying to have to open Mail and scroll all the way down to the Contacts link (and then click it) just to be able to see my Proton Contacts. Thanks for your consideration.

Yes, I agree. It's a pain to have to open PM mail just so that I can look at my Contacts. Please make Proton Contacts a separate app from Proton Mail for Android and Windows and provide an icon for direct access like Proton does for mail, calendar, drive, pass, etc. Thank you.

Sure, I can access Contacts within Proton Mail, but that's a lot of taps. And when I want to add or edit an entry I can not do so within the app -- I'm shunted out to a web interface.
My first choice: A full-featured Proton Calendar app for Android and iOS.
My second choice: Ability to fully edit Contacts from within the Proton Mail app. -

Why?
I have been using Proton's services for quite some time, starting with the free version. I have used/use various applications offered by different technology companies, such as Google and Microsoft. So, to be perfectly honest, I ask again, “Why?” Why request various applications without plausible circumstances? Google, Microsoft, Samsung, and even government apps are developing various apps without any express need. And in the case of Samsung, it has done, or I believe it still does, the issue of having multiple files and folders in its file managers, leaving an extreme mess.
In other words, I am a passionate advocate and supporter of digital security and personal privacy, and I have no complaints against the services of the Swiss company Proton. However, I consider myself a digital minimalist, as I see no need to request multiple applications.
However, I believe that if I wanted to request new applications, I would request (if it is in Proton's interest) an authenticator application, I would not link Proton Docs to Proton Drive, but would create an application, Standard Notes, which I believe I would modernize or transform into a Proton notes application, and finally, I believe I would create Proton search, or I would partner with other search engines and, if I wanted to, I would acquire these search engines.
All of this is my personal opinion.

Please add a mobile app for contacts that functions as well as the Google contacts app.

This idea seems similar to an older one (with the most votes @2025-03-09):

Something that can be selected as the default contacts app, offers sync, and basic contact fields, notes, and tagging.

In general something to replace Google contacts with more privacy, but also the integrations you would expect.
