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…8 votes -
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…2 votes -
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:

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…

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...

APK for Proton Authenticator and Proton Lumo hosted on proton.me website.
These applications are currently hosted on GitHub and F-Droid, if you want an Android APK. I'd prefer to see these moved to verifiable and trusted Proton platform websites.

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…

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…

Send Email As Group
Send Email As Group:The ability for authorized members of a Proton Mail Group to send emails as the group. Currently Proton Mail Groups support the receiving of emails through the group email alias but not the sending of mails as the group alias. This feature exists, by contrast, in the analogous Google Workspace group feature.

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.

Multi-platform Contacts Manager for PC and Android
Contacts management happens on smartphones and most people use the google standard issue app. This raises huge privacy concerns. A Proton alternative could provide similar utility without the privacy issues of Google and could be made such that it syncs with a PC version.

Proton Sandboxie
You could run apps inside of a sandbox. Proton's zero knowledge architecture would mean that non of the info inside could be read by proton or anyone.

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…

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…

Messaging & Voice-Video Calling app
An alternative to (and combining the best of) WhatsApp, Signal, Telegram, and MySudo - done the Proton way, part of the Proton ecosystem, with the Proton interface.
• Likely based on the Signal platform

• End-to-end encryption in peer-to-peer communications
• Can call or message non-Proton numbers
• Offers multiple profiles, each with unique phone numbers
• Connects with others by Usernames or Handles or…55 votes -
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.

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.

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,"…6 votes
