1. Secure native integration of Proton services together and with external services (granular consent & scoped tokens)

   Many privacy‑focused users including myself run several Proton services alongside automation platforms such as Make and Home Assistant. Because Proton does not yet expose a secure, granular API, we have to resort to work‑arounds:

   Forward selected Proton Mail messages to a Gmail account.
   Let Make read that Gmail inbox, filter the messages, and then push the extracted data into Google Calendar or other third‑party services.

   As a result, Google (or any other intermediary) ends up with full visibility of the forwarded emails, and Make gains access to the entire mailbox, not just the specific messages we intended to share.
   These steps defeat the purpose of using Proton in the first place, because they expose private communications to external providers and increase the overall attack surface.
   Manually copy‑paste invoices or payment confirmations from Mail into Drive.
   Keep an old Google Mail/Calendar account just to feed third‑party tools.
   Build fragile work‑arounds (CSV exports, external webhooks, temporary storage) that increase the attack surface.
   What we need is a native, consent‑driven integration API inside Proton that provides:

   Conditional access rules, filter on sender/subject/body and grant explicit permission (e.g., “Allow Make to pull invoices from billing@myshop.com”).
   Secure webhooks – signed URLs that third‑party platforms can call to create or modify Proton objects (mail, file, calendar event).
   Scoped, fine‑grained tokens – read‑only, write‑only, or read‑write access limited to a single mailbox or a single Drive sub‑folder, with a dedicated folder ID.

   Explicit activation/deactivation – the integration does nothing until the user flips it on in the Proton dashboard; it can be turned off at any time, even if Proton flags the inter‑dependency as “risky”.
   Audit log – full history of API calls shown in the dashboard, with one‑click revocation of any token.
   Native Lumo integration – allow Lumo to query Mail and Drive using the same scoped tokens, so it can answer contextual questions like “What’s the coverage limit of my insurance?” by pulling the relevant contract from Drive and summarising the paragraph.
   Why this matters

   User‑controlled consent – every connection requires explicit opt‑in and targets only the data that is truly needed.
   Reduced attack surface – eliminates the need for external CSV files, public webhooks, or ad‑hoc scripts that break end‑to‑end encryption.
   Boosts Proton’s appeal – privacy‑first home‑automation fans (Home Assistant, Make, n8n) would adopt Proton far more readily if a secure bridge existed.
   Prevents unsafe work‑arounds – even if Proton does not officially recommend such cross‑service links, people will still build fragile hacks; an official, audited solution dramatically lowers real‑world risk.
   Potential impact

   Makes Proton a complete, privacy‑preserving platform for everyday automation.
   Attracts niche communities (home‑automation, low‑code workflow builders) that currently stay on less‑private stacks.
   Gives Lumo a powerful data‑source for contextual Q&A, increasing its usefulness.

2. Built in email translation for Proton Mail

   Hello Proton Team,

   I would like to propose a built-in translation feature directly inside Proton Mail. This would significantly improve usability, especially for international users.

   Current problem:
   Reading emails in foreign languages requires copying content into external services like DeepL or Google Translate. This interrupts workflow, increases friction, and creates unnecessary dependency on third-party tools.

   Real-world use cases:

   International communication: Users receiving emails in English, Finnish, German, etc. need fast translation to understand content instantly
   Newsletters & services: Many newsletters and automated emails are not localized
   Business & work: Professionals communicating across countries need quick, reliable translations
   Privacy-conscious users: Copying sensitive emails into external tools contradicts Proton’s privacy-first philosophy

   Proposed solution:

   Add a “Translate” button directly inside the email view
   Enable full email translation with one click
   Allow target language selection (e.g. English → Finnish)
   Optional automatic translation for selected languages
   Prioritize DeepL integration for higher quality (Google Translate as fallback)

   Privacy considerations (critical for Proton):

   Clearly inform users when external APIs are used
   Offer opt-in functionality (disabled by default if needed)
   Long-term: explore privacy-preserving or local translation options

   Why this feature should be prioritized:

   Major quality-of-life improvement for daily email usage
   Strong alignment with Proton’s international user base
   Reduces reliance on external services (better user retention)
   Brings Proton Mail closer to feature parity with mainstream providers
   High perceived value with relatively clear implementation scope

   This is a practical, high-impact feature that would immediately improve the experience for a large portion of Proton users.

   Thank you for your consideration.

3. 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/

4. New Product: ProtonCut

   I’d like to suggest that Proton develop and release a new service called "ProtonCut," similar to CapCut, focused on easy video cutting, merging, and editing, with optional AI-based features. This service could integrate directly into the Proton ecosystem, protecting user privacy while allowing cloud uploads of projects to Proton Drive.

   Free users could access basic editing tools, while advanced Pro features—such as high-end AI editing, premium transitions, and export options—would be exclusive to Proton Visionary, Proton Unlimited, Family, Duo, or subscribers to "ProtonCut Plus," a new subscription that, like VPN Plus or Mail Plus, offers only the premium benefits specific to ProtonCut. ProtonCut Plus would not include additional advantages such as extra storage or benefits for other Proton services. It strictly provides premium features solely for ProtonCut, without extending any premium benefits to other Proton products. In this way, anyone could use the service for free with limited capabilities, while premium plan holders get the full power and feature set.

   The goal is to create something as intuitive and user-friendly as CapCut, while ensuring data protection and secure cloud storage built into Proton Drive. This would expand Proton’s ecosystem and take advantage of its existing infrastructure, like using Proton Drive to save projects for video editing, creating a unique privacy-first video editor.

5. Add support for LaTeX documents

   Maybe the number of people who would use this feature is no enormous, but I still think there is a gap in the market that Proton could fill. Importantly, the people who would use this feature is willing to pay.

   There is essentially one popular option in the market which is Overleaf, which requires a paid subscription to share a document with more than 2 people, and it is amazingly expensive (€19 monthly). Yet many people pay for it (research funds, it is the university who actually pays).

   Probably this is not immediate to build, but maybe in the future...

8. Transparency in Digital Services Builds Long-Term User Trust

   ProtonMail has earned user trust by putting privacy and transparency first, and this approach could be extended even further through clearer explanations of how internal metrics and limits are calculated. When users manage subscriptions, storage usage, or plan upgrades, simple and transparent breakdowns help them make informed decisions without relying on guesswork.

   Across the web, users are increasingly familiar with tools that clearly show how numbers are derived, similar to how platforms offering <a href="https://calcolostipendioneto.it/">simulazione busta paga mensile</a> explain structured calculations step by step. Applying the same clarity to ProtonMail’s account-related data would reinforce confidence while fully respecting privacy-first design principles.

9. Household Budget App

   I am just a Japanese Proton user, and please forgive me for using multiple translation sites.Let's Build a Privacy-First home Budgeting App

   Your income, expenses, and purchase history are among your most sensitive personal data—they reveal everything about your life. Yet most budgeting apps store this data in the cloud, analyze it, and sometimes share it with third parties. Data breaches, advertising exploitation, government and corporate surveillance—are you truly protected from these threats?

   What we need:

   • End-to-end encryption — designed so even developers can't read your data
   • Local-first data storage — kept only on your device
   • Zero tracking — no ads, no data selling
   • Open source — transparent, auditable code

   Financial autonomy is a fundamental human right. Let's create a budgeting app that keeps your financial data yours alone. It's time for a choice that doesn't compromise on privacy.

11. 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.

12. Multi-platform Contacts Manager for PC and Android

15. Hardware Password Manager (Ledger-Style Keyboard Emulator)

    I would like to propose the development of a Proton hardware password manager, similar in concept to Ledger (used for crypto), but designed specifically for secure credential storage and input, while fully aligned with Proton's privacy principles.

    🔐 Core Concept:

    A dedicated, tamper-resistant USB hardware device that:

    Stores passwords securely offline
    
    Presents a list of stored usernames only to the user
    
    Prompts the user on-device (via a screen + buttons or touchscreen) to select and approve password entry
    
    Emulates a USB keyboard to type the selected password into the target system (not via clipboard or memory injection)
    

    This way, passwords never reside in system memory, avoiding RAM scraping, clipboard attacks, and keylogging risks on compromised devices.
    🎯 Key Benefits:

    Zero memory footprint on host device—passwords are never exposed to malware or RAM dump tools
    
    Cross-platform & air-gapped-compatible (works on any device with a USB port)
    
    Reduces reliance on autofill, improving both security and transparency
    
    Could integrate with Proton Pass vault syncing (if optional cloud sync is desired)
    
    Appeals to privacy-conscious users, journalists, and enterprise clients with high-risk profiles
    

    💡 Bonus Features (Optional):

    PIN or biometric protection for device access
    
    Support for passkeys/FIDO2/WebAuthn in future firmware
    
    Compatibility with open standards (like KeePass vault formats, for user migration)
    
    Open-source firmware (to align with Proton’s transparency ethos)
    

    🙏 Why This Matters:

    Memory-resident password exposure remains a known limitation of even the most secure software-based managers—including Proton Pass. This hardware approach offers users the option of full physical control and zero in-RAM exposure, without compromising usability.

    I hope this concept aligns with Proton’s mission to bring user-controlled, privacy-focused solutions to life. Thank you for your continued innovation.

16. 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 then use apps like Obtanium to easily notify us of new released (I believe), keeping us all secure and potentially reducing unnecessary traffic in your website.

18. Add "invite others to Proton" to the dashboard or menu

    Under the user profile is 'help and feedback' but why not offer a hotlink for "send invitation for Proton service" to friends and colleagues. Of course, I will copy/paste the homepage and email to my Japanese colleagues, but having the "invite now" button might be attractive to the Proton users who want to invite others to join. For your consideration.

19. Mail: Bad dark mode UX for email signatures

    Proton Mail corrupts my own signature when composing emails in dark mode. For no good reason, signatures draft as light mode blocks, in an otherwise entirely dark mode platform.

20. A Decentralized, Privacy-First Digital Identity Platform to Empower Global Freedom

    Dear Proton Team,

    I write with excitement about an idea for a project that feels like a natural evolution of your mission: a self-sovereign digital identity solution that puts power back in users' hands, not governments'. In a world where centralized ID systems are becoming the norm, Proton could lead the charge toward true digital freedom. Allow me to outline the urgent problem, a ready-made solution, and why you're uniquely positioned to make it happen.

    The Problem: Centralized IDs as a Slippery Slope to Surveillance
    State-backed digital IDs promise efficiency but deliver vulnerability and control. Take the UK's "Brit Card," announced in September 2025: a mandatory app-based wallet for work rights, housing, and benefits, backed by a central biometric database. It's already sparked a 2.5 million-signature petition from groups like Big Brother Watch, fearing mass surveillance and a "1984"-style society – especially in a post-Brexit landscape with weakened privacy laws. Critics warn of "function creep," where initial checks for immigration morph into tracking everyday movements.

    Denmark's MitID offers a more mature example: a swipe-to-authenticate app that's integrated into 90% of public services, banking, and shopping. It's convenient, but its centralized infrastructure (tied to government and banks) creates a single point of failure. A cyberattack – like the 2018 NemID breach or a hypothetical missile strike on data centers – could paralyze the nation for weeks, halting payments, healthcare access, and more. Worse, it enables subtle overreach: Metadata logs of logins could profile citizens without consent, eroding the very privacy GDPR aims to protect.

    These systems exacerbate broader issues: Voter fraud (e.g., duplicate identities in elections), exclusion during outages, and a chilling effect on free speech, as seen in UK's Online Safety Act prosecutions for online opinions. Billions are invested in these fragile fortresses, yet they centralize power in the hands of states and corporations – the opposite of empowerment.

    The Solution: FreeID – Decentralized, User-Owned Identity on Blockchain
    Imagine FreeID: A free-market-driven, blockchain-based Self-Sovereign Identity (SSI) platform where users control their data fortress. Built on a resilient network (e.g., Ethereum or Polkadot for scalability), it uses zero-knowledge proofs to verify credentials – "I'm eligible to vote" or "I have right-to-work status" – without revealing underlying details. No central database means no honeypot for hackers or governments.

    Key features:
    Decentralized Resilience: Distributed ledger eliminates single points of failure; competes via open-source innovation from startups, ensuring rapid evolution (e.g., AI-assisted setup to solve early complexity).

    Offline Backup: NFC chips or QR codes for verification without internet – perfect for crises, blackouts, or remote areas.

    Voter Fraud Killer: Tamper-proof, anonymous voting integration: Prove eligibility once, cast a blockchain-secured vote, and enable real-time, auditable tallies without tracking who voted what. This could end stolen elections overnight.

    Privacy by Design: End-to-end encryption aligns with Proton's zero-access ethos; users revoke access anytime, excluding state overreach.

    As a free-market model, FreeID thrives on competition: Affordable tiers from privacy-focused apps, with seamless integrations for banking, travel, or e-government. It's future-proof – market forces guarantee user-friendly updates, outpacing stagnant state systems.

    Why Proton? And Why Now?
    Your non-profit pivot in 2024, open-source audits, and grants to projects like Tor position you as the trusted steward of digital rights. Integrate FreeID with Proton Pass for effortless onboarding, or Proton VPN for secure transmissions – it's a seamless extension of your ecosystem. Launch as an open-source pilot (perhaps via your community fund), starting small in privacy-forward markets like Switzerland or Denmark, then scaling globally. The impact? A blueprint for billions, dismantling surveillance silos and restoring trust in digital life.

    This isn't just tech – it's a leap for human freedom. In an era of eroding rights, FreeID could be Proton's moonshot: Empowering individuals to own their identities, secure elections, and build resilient societies.
