Make a budgeting app / feature
Create a budgeting app. I would love to have the privacy of Proton when dealing with my money.

A Proton budgeting app or feature within Proton Wallet is one of my most wanted features, for several reasons.
1) There are really no major privacy-focused companies with this feature. Other budgeting apps do not end-to-end encrypt and you have to trust both the app and third party connection service with all of your transactions (typically Plaid). This would be a major win for privacy in general.
2) Proton could get into the budgeting app market and attract more users. If Proton included budgeting tools then they would start to show up in articles and video about budgeting apps, which would attract more users to Proton for overall development.
3) I currently pay for the Every Dollar app, which connects bank accounts via Plaid and is not end-to-end encrypted nor is it a company that prioritizes user privacy. If Proton offered a similar service, I could stop paying the $12.00/month for Every Dollar and instead continue my Proton Visionary subscription with no added cost. It would be a big privacy boost as well as an economic one.
Hopefully this helps to persuade some of you out there about the importance of a budgeting tool. If it was inside the Proton Wallet app, then you could integrate bitcoin as well, but let's be honest, we aren't going to see a full transition to bitcoin in the near future so we still have need for regular budgeting tools that use USD or other national currencies.
