A contacts manager app that integrates with Android so that I can finally be done with gmail/google.

switch away from proton because of this. happy now with another EU mail and cloud provider. But brief me when available and almost certain i will be back

I also like to support this. People get confused with the switching inside the mail app. Please look at Covve. Would love to have aproton version of Covve.

I’d like to also support a standalone Proton Contacts application that serves as the central, privacy-first hub for all Proton services. It should maintain end-to-end encryption for all contact data, keys, and verification information, giving users granular control over what syncs across devices and platforms. This would replace reliance on Google or Apple contacts while maintaining cross-device functionality without compromising privacy.

Key features and requirements:

Centralized Key Management: Store contact keys, verification keys, and public keys in a clear, user-friendly way. Users should easily distinguish between standard contact info and security-critical information.

Cross-Platform Sync: Support secure syncing across Apple, Google, and other platforms even if native integrations are limited. Users should be able to select which contacts or attributes to sync with their devices.

Data Integrity & Maintenance: Automatically detect duplicates, merge contacts, edit attributes, and monitor for errors or key mismatches in the background. Include marking of emergency contacts for secure key recovery.

Privacy-First Functionality: Give users full control over default attributes and sharing settings, providing a clear privacy advantage over Apple and Google contacts.

Integrated Actions: Quick-access options to start Proton Mail emails, Proton Meet video calls, Proton Calendar events, or send messages via the device’s default or user-selected messaging apps.

Enhanced Security: Optional PIN, FaceID, and two-factor encryption for edits, ensuring that even local contact data is protected against unauthorized access.

User-Centric Design: The app should act as the primary interface for all contact-related Proton operations while keeping complexity minimal for end users.

By creating a dedicated, secure contact hub, Proton can unify identity and key management across all services, providing a seamless, privacy-first experience that surpasses current solutions in Apple and Google ecosystems.

I agree, contact management is not optimal with Proton. And with the "Proton suite" application provided, and some enterprise product, we must have a decent Proton Contact App

Completely support this! On Android there should be an app and an option to sync contacts from Proton into the OS contact list. On GrapheneOS this isn't a problem and on stock Android it's not perfect but better than saving contacts into a Google account so you can have phone numbers in the phone app.

It's the biggest thing that keeps me from moving away from using my google account. proton's attempt at doing something with contacts through the mail app simply doesn't cut it.

It is very unconfortable not to see who calls you because your contact is embedded in e-mail app.
Your contact may also not share with you his mail but only his phone number.
Lastly, it is important to access easily to contact. At the time beeing it is not the case at all.

I've spent the past months "degoogling and de-appling" my and my closest family-member's lives and contacts really were a surprising barrier. iOS lets you integrate a DAV server "quite easily" (still some techy-knowledge required) but Android makes it really hard such that no "normie" user would ever do it in my opinion. I had to get DavX5 to periodically sync the on-device contacts with my DAV contacts.

I would've expected this to be way easier than it was in the end - it's a hygiene factor. It's not a **** ability to have, but it is quite necessary.

Just thought I'd share what I learned. 🤔

A standalone application is essential.

If a calendar is like a diary that must be protected at all costs, then my contacts are certainly even more so.
In their contacts, users list not only their friends, but also their family members, colleagues, doctors, lawyers, etc.
On Reddit, I learn that iPhone owners are still forced to use iCloud to properly sync their contacts. This makes no sense, especially since these contacts cannot even benefit from Apple’s ADP protection.
Asking me today to open Proton Mail just to make a phone call also makes no sense.
Name, email, phone number, social networks, physical address, birthday, related calendar events, job… just imagine the amount of unsecured information that can make everything fall apart. And since you are about to launch Proton Meet this is going to become indispensable.
Moreover, this app could ultimately become the central hub of Proton for all your services.
It is a key element to start a new email, invite a contact to an event, launch a call, and later a chat or a meet.
Please do not underestimate this service.

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!

I definitely need and would like to see a contact Database built in to proton suite

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.

Having a dedicated Contact App is essential to get rid of google environment.
This request has been here for years.

Please make it happen.
