Hi Proton Team,

I’m a long‑time Proton user and recently explored turning a Pixel 7 into a dedicated “Proton phone” that makes Proton Mail, VPN, Drive, Pass, and Calendar the native, system‑level experience.

Key points of the concept:
- Hardened OS base (GrapheneOS) with verified boot and Titan M security.
- Proton apps installed as system apps for privileged permissions.
- Auto‑connect Proton VPN with kill‑switch, default mail/calendar handlers, and a unified “Proton Settings” UI.
- Optional Magisk module for seamless OTA updates of Proton apps.
- Full‑device encryption, firewall rules, and minimal bloatware.

I’ve drafted a step‑by‑step implementation plan and would love to hear if Proton sees value in pursuing a reference design or a future commercial device.

Thank you for considering the idea!
