Modernize Standard Notes
In a market with consolidated competitors such as Obsidian, Anytype, AFFiNE, among others, it is essential that Standard Notes offers real-time collaboration features, in addition to the other editing functions of its competitors.
The dated interface is also a problem. When you look at the UI/UX of competitors, you can see how Standard Notes needs a design makeover to modernize it and get it out of that dated software look.

Improve Proton Calendar notifications on Linux (sound, persistence, snooze)
On Linux (Ubuntu / GNOME), Proton Calendar notifications are easy to miss: they are transient, quiet, and disappear after a few seconds if you are away from the screen.
There is currently no way to:
• enable audible alerts
• make notifications persistent until dismissed
• snooze calendar remindersThis makes Proton Calendar significantly less usable on Linux compared to mobile platforms and even basic desktop calendar apps.
Please consider improving Linux notifications by supporting one or more of the following:
• notification sounds
• persistent / actionable notifications
• snooze support
• better integration with Linux desktop notification standards…14 votes -
Ability to share files/folders with non-proton users by sharing a link and password instead of having to create an account
Absolutely need the ability to share a link to a file or folder on Proton Drive with a non-proton user without them having to create an account at all, e.g. proton user could simply share a password with the recipient and they could then access the file or folder via a link with that password.
The fact recipients have to create an account makes them opt out and request the use of unsecured channels for file sharing. This is NOT the way. Please add this ability to remove this important element of friction that’s preventing users from using proton services…

Proton's Sustainability
It would be nice if Proton had some transparency about their sustainability commitments. To be able to see if they use renewable energy and/or other sustainable practices, Is what I believe would be a great selling point for potential users.

Protonvpn: Server Load Category Selections
The privacy of every vpn is only as good as the amount of people using it. The more people on a server the more secure it is.
Protonvpn should have selectable toggles for servers with particular load ranges by country 0-30, 30-50, 50-70 etc. Selecting a load range will pull a randomized list of servers within that load range from different locations within a given country.
This gives the user more streamlined control for optimizing which server they are using with respect to their individualized threat model.

Not having gnome-keyring as hard dependency for proton-vpn-gtk and mail bridge apps
I'm on KDE, many are. And your apps work perfectly fine with kwallet ! Good job, genuinely.
HOWEVER, your apps keep installing gnome-keyring, DESPITE kwallet being present, when you install them on KDE. And man has that lead to issues here. New wallets created at each startup, when auto-login is enabled, apps not remembering my account, etc.
And with your apps already working fine, if not better, with kwallet on KDE, maybe just stop forcing gnome-keyring as a hard dependency ! I had to create a dummy gnome-keyring binary to satisfy the dependency.*
Thanks !

Create "Duplicate Entry" capability within Proton Calendar iOS app
The Proton Calendar iOS app does not currently support the "Duplicate Event" capability that the Proton Mail PC app has. Provide this capability to the iOS Proton Calendar app.
This should work when the source calendar is a Proton Calendar or a shared calendar.

Support recurring annual calendar entries which fall on the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, or last weekday of the month.
From Proton Calendar, allow the user to create a recurring annual calendar entry which fall on the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, or last weekday of the month. For example, US Thanksgiving is always on the 4th Thursday of November. US Memorial Day is always on the last Monday of May. Allow the user to create ad-hoc recurring events similar to those 2 examples within Proton Calendar.
This will also benefit the calendar import feature, as imported calendar entries following the above recurrence rule fail to import currently, since their recurrence pattern is not currently supported by Proton Calendar.

Change push notifications from Apple or google play services, to an ecosystem agnostic option
It would be great to be able to use Proton’s apps and services without needing to rely on Apple’s Push Service or Google Play Services for Push notifications. This way we can use Proton Services without needing to install microG or activating Play Services.

Named Sessions
Named Sessions:
It is challenging when using different vpns or when cache clears to connect to a single session.
I end up having to login and clear sessions constantly, even with defined exceptions for cache because depending where I am the PC uses a different VPN.
It would be cool to be able to connect to a predefined session via some key or token or whatever mechanism may work to identify and authenticate a unique session beyond cookies.
That way you could have explicit sessions, and not have to worry about wondering if 1 of the 50 sessions that is…

See through all ideas
There are lots of ideas here on the platform. Many have already been implemented. Perhaps we should go through all the users' ideas and mark those that have already been implemented as completed with a link to the documentation page. That would save a lot.

Notification when a photo is shared
I’m using Proton Drive to share photos with my family. It would be great if my family would get a notification when I add something to an album. Now they have to check or I need to tell them. Either a push notification in the app or an e-mail would be very helpful.

Enable the option to change the cell setting of the decimal point in entire sheet
If I format a cell as a number, two numbers are placed after the decimal point. I can adjust that per cell, but not for the entire worksheet. Formatting the cells as text is not an option, because then the summation function will no longer work.

Better importation/linking with Gmail with Proton Mail
First off, I LOVE the new ability to link your gmail account. This is extremely helpful, and removes 90% of my reliability with Gmail as it's all available with Proton Mail.
However, organization is needed for a couple different reasons.
1) Spam/Promotion
Gmail gives you HUNDREDS of emails into a quick "Promotions" area. All of this goes unfiltered upon linking with Proton, and floods your entire Proton Inbox.
For emails listed under "Promotion" tab in gmail (as well as other misc areas such as Spam), it should be filtered into some type of Subfolder and/or ignored.I think the easiest…

Subject: "No Warranty" and "Not Responsible for Accuracy" — The Loophole That Voids Every Promise
Hi Proton Team,
There is a section in Proton's agreements that most users will never read, but it fundamentally undermines everything they were sold on:
"No warranty." "Not responsible for accuracy."
These clauses mean that every promise Proton makes — about protecting your data, about encryption, about open source, about features working — comes with a legal escape hatch. If something goes wrong, if a feature doesn't work, if accuracy fails, the company has already protected itself. The user has no recourse.
The Playbook This isn't unique to Proton. It's standard corporate practice. But Proton isn't supposed to be standard.…
