Proton Authenticator Theme
Right off the bat, Proton Authenticator's theme and aesthetic design honestly leave something to be desired, and it feels somewhat less like the clean cut look like Proton typically has. I think if it were actually themed after Pass it would look more attractive, and TOTP items lined up in Pass look really good - along with the countdown coloring. Just more TOTP dedicated in Authenticator's case with a site icon in place of the item icon, etc.

Better handling of app URIs
iOS and other mobile devices still struggle to process app URLs correctly. Very often, instead of opening the relevant app, instead a Web browser or app store launches, presenting completely useless, generic views.
Accordingly, it would be really helpful were the various Proton platform mobile apps, to check the scheme of URI's to see if the OS has a registered app, and open those directly, rather than attempt to launch the URI directly in a mobile or embedded browser.
This UX quirk happens basically every single time a mobile app URI appears in Proton Mail or other Proton apps.

Allow defaulting from address to the address that received the email when replying
I am using Cloudflare for managing and forwarding some email addresses.
When I am replying to the emails, currently ProtonMail defaults to my @proton.me address, although the addresses are properly configured in ProtonMail.
I would like have an option to default the from address of my reply to the to address of the email I am replying to, so I don't need to manually change it. Sometimes I forget to change the address, causing confusion on the recipient.

Proton App
This may be a tall ask, and i know this may not even be something that most would want from Proton, but a single app containing all Proton services, also providing a way to easily secure/manage your Proton account as well with a custom UI instead of the standard web version.

Proton Sheets: date selector year input
There is already a date selector in Sheets (clicking a date in a cell brings up a date picker), but navigating back several years can be cumbersome because it only lets you scroll through the months. If it were also possible to change the year - either by typing it in or by scrolling through the years - that would be much faster. I know it’s possible to type the date, but using the date picker is far easier for me (if this year-thing would be solved).

Feature Request [proton-mail-export-cli] Add --since and --filter-domain flags for scoped, incremental backups
Summary
Love the export tool and use it for regular business backups. Two small additions to the CLI would make it significantly more practical for recurring and domain-scoped use cases: a
--sinceflag to limit exports to a recent time window, and a--filter-domainflag to scope exports to a specific email domain.Proposed Flags
--since DATEExport only messages on or after a given date (ISO 8601).
./proton-mail-export-cli --operation backup --dir ./backup --since 2026-03-01--sinceis the established convention for this pattern across tools likegit log,journalctl, and most backup utilities, making it immediately intuitive.Why…

Improve app versioning in protonapps.com
Hello,
First off, thanks to the Proton team for having such an amazing resource for us to easily download apps from (https://protonapps.com/). I have a suggestion for improvement please.
Could you add the app version to the actual file name of all apps you allow direct download so that we know when we should download a new version of the app?
For example, Proton Pass .deb and .rpm files both have a generic name: ProtonPass.deb and ProtonPass.rpm and this doesn't help us figure out the current app version.
Adding the app version would also mean that we could…

move Account settings in All settings to the bottom
When openingen All settings in either Mail, or Drive (web app) the items at the top are Account related. The settings related to the specific app (Proton Mail, Proton Drive) are at the bottom.
This is (at least for me) confusing, because at first look the menu is the same in Mail and Drive, allways pulling my attention to "Your plan" (my subscription) and "Download Proton Mail and Proton Calendar" when i want to change specific settings.Is it possible to start the menu with the app specific items and move the Account items to the bottom ?

Reduce # of clicks to move a message
Hi there! When I highlight a message and click the "Move" option, a list of folders is presented, requiring a second click on the chosen folder and a third click on the Move button.
It would be faster to double-click the appropriate folder in order to move the message. Alternatively, as you type in the filter box, when the correct folder name is displayed, allow the user to hit the Enter key to move the item to the displayed folder.
It takes a cursor move + 2 extra clicks to move an item to the desired folder. Having used Gmail…

Hide the unread count for spam
Currently, the Spam category shows a count of unread emails. This is kind of attention-grabbing when scanning the sidebar for what I should be paying attention to, so it would be nice to either not show it at all, or have an option not to show it.
The same goes for Trash emails, these things should be more “out of the way”.
This is especially annoying in the mobile app, because there is no way to hide the archive/spam/trash/all-mails like there is on web.
There are several requests and/or hacks for this on Reddit:
- https://www.reddit.com/r/ProtonMail/comments/g875j7/option_to_hide_spam_unread_number_count/
- https://www.reddit.com/r/ProtonMail/comments/8dehym/spam_count_hide_display_on_hover/

Emergency access - read-only, customizing what they can see/access
1) https://proton.me/blog/emergency-access nor https://proton.me/support/emergency-access explains if emergency contact can change account password/key which they have accessed (taking over account). It does not explain any other protections.
2) Also the account owner should be able to limit emergency user access to read-only, maybe just for a limited time like 1-2 years, during which owner has ability to reset the emergency user access and they have to request again.
3) Owner should be able to limit access only to some services, like for example Drive or even certain folder of a Drive or Mail. This possibility I have not seen announced in…

Access to Proton Bridge cache offline ? (with full-text caching)
Could it be possible to make Proton Bridge cache accessible offline ?
The idea behind it is to be able to have a full cache of all mails text contents (or at least for the last x months).
It would be helpful as the current alternative is to do that client-side which will store it usually unencrypted (if i'm not mistaken) whereas Proton Bridge cache is still encrypted.
The use-case would be to ensure an always up to date, always encrypted, local "backup access" to the mail box content.
... but i probably ignore some security protocol constrains :)3 votes -
Consistent Cross-Platform Functionality
Proton apps should offer consistent functionality across mobile, desktop, and the web. Currently, several important actions are only available in one version, forcing users to switch platforms unnecessarily.
Examples:
Proton Drive: File sharing cannot be initiated from the mobile or desktop app and requires opening the web version. Sharing should be possible directly within the apps.
Calendar: Sharing a calendar with another Proton user currently works only on desktop, not on mobile.
