Unified data export across all Proton apps
I've got Mail, Drive, Calendar and Pass now, and pulling my own data out of all of them at once is basically impossible - every app exports its own way, if it exports at all. At my day job I build data pipelines, and one thing that clicked for me was reading through this https://cobit-solutions.com/en/services/data-lake-consulting-services/ on how you land raw data from a bunch of different sources into one place first, then structure it. Something like that under the hood would let Proton give us a single "export everything" that actually works. Right now it feels like each app is…

Set a Default Self-Destruct on all incoming mail.
To keep inboxes, and even folders, under control I find myself using the self destruct frequently. However, it takes time to set for many emails. I suggest being able to set a default self destruct timer on every incoming (and outgoing) email, that I could disable only on the emails that I would actually like to keep long-term.

Ask the EU forcing companies very easy noob account/data transfers from gmail/.... to others like proton
In the netherlands for many services the law forces to have an easy way to move from one service to an other, like phone, electricity, healthcare issurance,... Moving from basic functionalities like email, drive, photo storage, password managers, basically everything where data gets involved need to be a real simple single button transfer solution for any consumer. This to avoid vendor lockin by not having the technical skills to do so.

Launch this and focus on distribution from day 1: Introducing Proto, world's only privacy tightened platform to prototype your best ideas
Launch this and focus on distribution from day 1 (Pre promote that is) : Introducing Proto, world's only privacy tightened platform to prototype your best ideas from mind to mvp.
End to end secured.
(Unlike other platforms that likely see everything you are doing. All your ideas and concepts and wireframes and... you get the point.)
Build the MVP within the platform.
Let your intial users test it within the platform.

And I.D.E. (Independent Developing Enviroment)
Why not make an IDE. Proton is all about privacy so why not make one. You can easily integrate Lumo into the work space as a chat bot for building app structures, code, etc. You can integrate git repositories that have E2EE encryption as a part of privacy and have the ability to import files from proton drive or save files to the drive

A simple zero knowledge peer-to-peer file transfer service
I believe this technology already exists. My understanding of it might be incorrect or limited as I'm not a developer myself.
Essentially, when using WebRTC, the transferred data does not need to be saved on a server, but there has to be a relay server to connect the two computers. That means the users themselves carry the cost of storage and data transfer. Copyright infringement or other illegal material would not be an issue either as the service provider is comparable to a phoneline operator.
Commercial comparables include ToffeeShare (EU) & partially Wormhole (United States). Wormhole saves files smaller than…

Proton Coding
Hello Proton, thank you very much and great respect, for all the masterpieces you create. I would very much like to have an alternative to Github at Proton where you can work cleanly, safely and privately. That would bring an absolute well-being for us IT workers. I had published a survey at the beginning of 2025 who agreed, and 922 out of 1000 real IT workers would find that absolutely great. So over 92% of IT workers would find it commendable to have a "Proton Coding" product available. Best Regards:)

Add a function in the settings to automatically add "Request Read Receipt" to email
It would improve convenience to not click "request read receipt" every time you write an email. A function that does that for you automatically would be great.

Adopt WEBCAT for all web-based applications
The whole existence of Proton revolves around a trustworthy, easy-to-use suite of end-to-end encrypted applications. But one thing is to use Proton's digitally signed mobile applications, another is to use Proton's web-based applications.
So I suggest the early adoption of WEBCAT, a Freedom of the Press Foundation project currently in alpha.
From their website (https://webcat.tech/):
"""
The ProblemWebsites can change their code at any time, and HTTPS alone does not guarantee that every user receives the same, intended web application. WEBCAT addresses this by enabling signed delivery and transparency log–backed distribution of participating web applications, allowing end users…

Have the same features on the iOS Proton Mail app as on the Windows app
I really need to be able to manage my filters and reorganize my folders on the iOS app.
This is possible on the Windows app.
When a feature is released somewhere, it should be implemented in all apps.3 votes -
Proton Authenticator extension for Brave Browser
I would like there to be a Proton Authenticator extension for Brave Browser so that I can access codes more quickly without having to use my phone, just like 2FAS Auth does.

DarkMode on Website/About Pages
Proton has DarkMode on all of its applications/software/websites but not on the homepage, about pages, or download pages and I think it would be a great idea to add DarkMode to them.

[Proton Drive] Avoid embedding email in macOS CloudStorage provider folder name
Summary
- Request: Use a non-identifying provider-folder name for Proton Drive on macOS instead of embedding the user’s email in the folder name under ~/Library/CloudStorage.
- Goal: Prevent exposing user email/PII in local filesystem paths while preserving Finder and File Provider integration.Problem
- Current folder names like ProtonDrive-joe@example.com expose users’ emails in paths, backups, logs, screenshots, and scripts.
- This risks accidental sharing of PII (e.g., in support tickets or screenshots).Preferred solution
- Register the provider folder as ProtonDrive-.
- - Example: /Users//Library/CloudStorage/ProtonDrive-8f3a2b/
- - : an 8–12 character stable, non-reversible token (hex or base62) mapped server-side to…2 votes -
Proton VPN Observatory search by country
Reading through the whole observatory takes time and effort, please do a search box so we can find information relevant to our country or province and the current status.. for example : if something has been anounced or recently happened (ie a shut down of services or political election) let the users (without signing in) search the info found across Proton (like in the observatory) that is related to that user's concern be available to search and find by location {country, province} or timezone

lumo technical information
lumo advertising is extremely poor. when i talk to gemini or look at ads it state clearly basic information like max upload 10 files at a time, max 100mb each, max 2gb total uploaded. 32k token free tier, ai plus gives 128k guaranteed tokens.
Yet all 3 versions of lumo sounds scammy, vague and dishonest.
we basically have no idea what you want money for.
"more file upload" "more bigger files".. was this written by a 3yo intern?a token counter would be nice as well as a output box for code or documents so it does not clutter and…

Proton Phone with ProtonOS and Integrated AI
I would like to suggest a Proton Phone that runs either on a dedicated ProtonOS or a Proton-customized Android. This phone would feature a system-wide AI assistant like LUMO and have all Proton services—Mail, VPN, Calendar, Drive, Proton Pass, and more—fully integrated from the start.
By replacing default services like Google with Proton equivalents (e.g., Proton Pass for passwords), users would have full privacy across the entire device and enhanced security options. Such a phone would provide a seamless, secure, and privacy-focused experience, making it much easier to manage subscriptions and Proton services.
This could represent a major step forward…

Remove Lumo mascot
The Lumo mascot of a purple cat is childish and silly. This isn't the early 2000's and the blinking cat's eyes while waiting for input looks dumb.
I can't take a supposedly professional, privacy-focusd app and service seriously when there's a cartoon cat all over the place. Just remove it, you don't need a mascot.

Proton Phone&Chat
