  1. Introduction of a Proton Notes app as a secure alternative to Google Notes

    Description:
    A native note-taking app from Proton would add an important everyday tool to the portfolio while extending Proton's high privacy standards to note management. The app should offer the following core features:

    Extensive functionality – text notes, checklists, image and file attachments, formatting (bold, italics, bullet points) – in other words, the same level of performance as Google Notes.

    Intuitive user interface – quick creation, editing, and organization of notes via swipe gestures, drag-and-drop, and context-sensitive menus.
    Integration of “share” services – Users should be able to transfer content from other apps (e.g., Spotify, YouTube, podcasts) directly into a…

  3. Feature Suggestion: Automated Personal Data Removal

    I greatly value Proton’s commitment to protecting user privacy through your suite of encrypted services. However, I see an opportunity to enhance the user experience and strengthen Proton’s value proposition even further.

    Currently, users who want to remove their personal information from the internet must manually contact data brokers, websites, and search engines ... a time-consuming and ongoing task. I suggest Proton develop a Personal Information Removal System that would:

    1. Scan and Identify: Automatically detect where a user’s personal data is publicly available or held by data brokers.
    2. Automate Removal Requests: Send verified opt-outs or deletion requests on behalf of…

  4. shared workspace

    Shared workspaces would be nice because we have a drive and we're meeting soon. You can share files and chat with each other in a space where you can share files and chat with each other, like Teams/Sharepoint. We already have a drive, and we get meet soon. I think this will make it complete.

  5. Doc outliner to Proton docs

    You can apply "Header 1" the title of the doc and subtitles but they are only visual, i would love to see a doc outliner on the side of the docs to be able to organize and skim through the doc without scrolling all the through 90 pages to what i need (Like google docs)

  6. Provide a checksum option to verify data is backed up as expected

    It would be great if we could calculate a SHA512 checksum for files or folders we want to make sure have been backed up with absolutely no corruption. Make the feature on-demand, and not for every file anyone uploads to prevent unnecessary workload.

  7. Add Proton apps to Flathub and GNOME Software

    Making Proton's apps available on the app stores that Linux users use will make it easier and safer for users to find and download Proton apps and eliminate the risk of visiting sketchy websites to download the official Proton apps. The respective app store websites are linked below for reference.
    - Flathub: https://flathub.org/
    - GNOME Software: https://apps.gnome.org/Software/

  8. A videocall app comparable to MS Teams

    No email ecosystem can nowadays exist without a videocall app.
    Having to rely to external apps means setting up a calendar, copying the url etc.

    It would be easier to have a Proton videocall app.

  9. Proton chat messenger

    Messenger would be end-to-end encrypted for video calls and voice messages.

    This feature has been requested many times and has been under review since 2016.

  10. New Product Proposal: Lumen — A Proton Browser That Illuminates the Path to True Privacy

    Imagine a web browser built with Proton’s guiding philosophy at its core — a platform where privacy, intelligence, and design coexist in harmony. This vision takes form as Lumen, a new kind of browser designed to unite Proton’s ecosystem into a single, secure experience.

    The name Lumen means light or illumination, symbolizing clarity, transparency, and enlightenment — the very principles Proton stands for. It captures the essence of a browser that helps users navigate safely through the modern web’s dark corners while illuminating truth, privacy, and control. Lumen is more than a browsing tool; it is a guide — shedding…

  11. A Proton Social Media Platform

    Having an uncensored platform to express ideas would be a game changer in the world of social media. X, (formerly "Twitter"), as well as Gab, Truth Social, Parler, et. al., have moderators who decide what is acceptable. This is NOT free speech. What one person (or moderator), finds offensive, another may find humorous or innocuous or blustering rhetoric. Freedom to express ideas and opinions, even ones that some might find offensive, (i.e. war, race, gender, ethnicity, etc.,) or anything else that might hurt someone's feelings should be absolute. Having filters in place where users can choose whether or not to…

  12. Professional/Academic-level Writing Support in Proton Docs

    I am working hard to de-Google, de-Meta, de-Amazon, and de-Microsoft my life. I would love to switch my word processing needs entirely over to Proton Docs, but I need to write at a high academic level, including things like postdoc applications, journal articles, and books, and the support for that just isn't there, especially in things like footnotes and references/bibliographies. I know there are a lot of free alternatives to MS Word out there, like Google Docs, but I want to know for a fact that my writing won't be scraped for AI training.

  13. New Login Detected Email Notification

    Overview:
    This feature would automatically send an email alert to the account owner whenever a new login is detected on their Proton account. The goal is to enhance account security by providing real-time awareness of potentially unauthorized access.

    📩 How It Works:
    - Trigger Event:

    When someone logs into your Proton account from a new device, browser, or location that hasn't been previously recognized.

    • Email Notification Includes:
    • Date & Time of Login
    • IP Address & Approximate Location
    • Device Type & Browser Info
    • Login Method (e.g., password, 2FA, recovery)
    • Security Recommendations (e.g., “If this wasn’t you, change your password immediately.”)
    • Optional…

  15. Unified Application

    Create a unified application platform to access all Proton features via a multi-OS application (Windows, macOS, Linux [Flatpak]).

    I'm thinking functions like:
    1) Workspace-like application with tabs down the left side for each application (Mail, Contacts, Pass, Drive, VPN, etc..)
    2) Option to toggle individual apps on/off if the user does not want to include specific ones.
    3) Option to pop-out individual apps
    4) Configurable timeout/lock for the app platform. Should include pin, password, biometrics, security keys
    5) Themes
    6) Application-based encryption to protect cached app data

    Take a look at Zoho's Trident application, there are some decent ideas/designs there.

  17. Integration with writing tablets

    Privacy concerned users, such as journalists, would benefit from Proton Drive integration in emerging writing tablet devices.

    Would love Proton to collaborate note and book annotation sync features with Amazon, Boox, Kobo, reMarkable, and other prominent writing tablet manufacturers. Too many of these devices vendor lock notes inside proprietary, non-endtoend encrypted services, with only manual export options.

  18. Official F-droid Repository

    Hello,

    It would be nice to have an official F-droid repo for all protonapps.

    This way all apps would easily stay up-to-date without using the google playstore (or the aurore store)

    Thanx for considering!

  19. Proton Backup for Android/ios

    It would be awesome to be able to not use google backup, to backup an android device. Proton backup could replace it, and it would be one step further to not rely on google having our android data to scan/etc...

  20. Break page in Proton Doc

    I'd like to suggest a break page in Proton Doc.
    There isn't break page option, I red in some websites that I could do it with ctrl+enter but it doesn't work.
