Subject: Feature proposal – “Proton Phone” built on Pixel 7
Hi Proton Team,
I’m a long‑time Proton user and recently explored turning a Pixel 7 into a dedicated “Proton phone” that makes Proton Mail, VPN, Drive, Pass, and Calendar the native, system‑level experience.
Key points of the concept:
- Hardened OS base (GrapheneOS) with verified boot and Titan M security.
- Proton apps installed as system apps for privileged permissions.
- Auto‑connect Proton VPN with kill‑switch, default mail/calendar handlers, and a unified “Proton Settings” UI.
- Optional Magisk module for seamless OTA updates of Proton apps.
- Full‑device encryption, firewall rules, and minimal bloatware.I’ve drafted a step‑by‑step implementation plan and would…

Create email filter within message.
I use filters and labels a lot.
Instead of having to dig into Settings > Filters, I'd like to just select the sender address and Add to Filter or Create New Filter.
I'm most often in the MacOs desktop app but sometimes in the iOS app.

Mailbox for Unread E-mails in ProtonMail
Dedicated mailbox for unread emails:
An inbox that displays only unread messages would be very useful for users who want to focus solely on new items.Persistence of the “Unread” filter:
As an alternative, when applying the “Unread” filter in the “All Mail” mailbox, it would be helpful if this setting remained active when navigating between folders and upon returning, avoiding the need to reapply the filter each time.

Allow payment for Proton subscription plans before the due date
My renewal for Proton Duo is about a month away. I was looking on the Proton website for a way to pay for the next 12 months before the renewal date, but to no avail.

There should be a button in the email client that opens attached files immediately without having to save file to disk with name.
Currently you click a file attachment and it might say "Preiew for this file type is not supported" and the email client displays a Download button. In other mail clients, there is usually an accompanying "Open" button, which saves the file to a temporary location on the harddrive and then opens it with the system's registered associated program.
On windows, they use the "open" utility, on linux it's xdg-open, etc, you can avoid having to save a file with a name to a location and then find that file to open it by just having a button that says "Open"…

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…

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…

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.

Proton Docs - Paragraph Line Spacing
Please adding paragraph line spacing. I generally like to list out things using new lines rather than a list function. The current spacing between new lines is about 2-3 times bigger than I'm willing to tolerate.

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…

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.

Strong Password Unlock for Browser Extension & App–Extension Linking
I really enjoy using Proton Pass, but I have two feature requests that would greatly improve my security workflow:
Full Master Password Unlock Option for the Browser Extension
Currently, the extension mainly relies on a PIN for quick unlock. I would like to have the option to always require my full master password (just like in the desktop/mobile app) instead of a PIN, for added security.Linked Unlock Between App and Browser Extension
It would be very convenient if unlocking the Proton Pass desktop app would also unlock the browser extension (and vice versa), similar to how some other password…10 votes -
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
