A small picklist of favorites of email recipients at the top - just tap to pick a regular recipient.
Especially on a phone, rather than trying to type in an address until it differentiates from recent, have a user configurable number of favorites (including zero, which prevents the favorite section from showing up) to choose from. Additionally, allow a user defined grouping: eg selecting my "hikers" favorite autofills the To, Cc, and Bcc fields with predefined recipients.

Simpler log-in to Proton services with QR code
I like being able to log-in on proton services on a browser using a QR code scanned on my phone by the mail app. It doesn't require entering my password and going through 2FA each time.
However, it is seen as a recovery method at the moment, and thus hidden behind multiple menus (on the browser and on the Android mail app).
Is there a reason to not have this method as a standard way of log-in, with the feature available in the higher level menus? It would be even more convenient to have it as a quick action on…

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…

Proton Gateway for all services
The idea would be to have secure gateways (managed by Proton AND the community, via a Proton installer and/or procedure) with no logging capability whatsoever, systematically masking the IPs that "Proton services" can see. These gateways would be "black boxes" for those who install them at home, ensuring that absolutely no data or logs could be retrieved or used.
Let me explain: Similar to what SimpleX.chat does, for example, these relay servers/gateways would be systematically contacted by Proton apps (mobile, desktop, etc.), masking the use of Proton services (especially if connected to a server managed by a community member) and…

Hide unused labels instead of delete them
Sometime a label is useful during a certain period of time. Despite a label is no longer applied to new messages, it is still important to be kept to tag old ones. For example, a messages related to a renovation you've made to your house in the past. The renovation is over, but you want to keep the history.
For the sake of cleanliness, It would be useful to be able to hide unused old label from the side bar. Messages tag with that label should still be found though.

Ability to backup only the new photos you take on your phone, not all photos
It would be nice to have the option to backup only the new photos you take on your phone, not all photos that are on your phone, because I already backup my photos of the previous years in seperate folders in Proton Drive. Now I have duplicate photos. I have the same photos in seperate folders in Proton Drive and the same photos in the Photos tab. With this way I use a lot of my storage. I used to use the Sync.com app and they had this feature.

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…

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…

Need a feature to manually pick "icons" for our codes in the new standalone Authenticator app
As the title suggests. The app is new and lacks this basic feature. When I create an 2FA secret, it just selects the service icons itself and I can't manually change the icons to my liking. Please add a way for us to change it.
Also the Authenticator app seems to lacks many services icons please add them.

Beef up passkeys by requiring hardware security key or 2fa code authentication
I am concerned with how easy it is to activate passkeys with Proton Pass. Let's say that someone's child or sibling were using their computer and snooped at their account, either on purpose or on accident. If that account doesn't have a passkey they would have to at least click through to autofill the username/password boxes, which at that point their conscious would tell them this is wrong and they might turn back (we can hope!). But if that account uses a passkey, it is as easy as clicking the pop-up and it is easier for someone to be tempted…

Move the "conversation moved to Trash" toast notification to the botton right of the screen
When I'm deleting a lot of messages, each deletion creates a "conversation moved to Trash" toast in the center of the screen, In browsers using more than 100% zoom and ultrawide monitors those messages quickly start to block the buttons of your list of e-mails.
I suggest to move this message to the right so it will not go over your e-mail list.

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…

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 -
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.

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.
