Automatic updates on Linux Debian
Hello, I use the desktop application on a Linux workstation (Linux Mint, Debian distribution) and almost every time I open an application, I am prompted to update it. This is a bit annoying because I have several applications of the same type. In the end, I can't be bothered to update them every time because it's a bit time-consuming... I've searched the internet, but I can't find an apt repository to perform updates automatically at the same time as my PC updates.
Is there currently a way to automatically update the various Proton applications, for example with APT Linux?

Proton Journal
I was thinking about something just now: there doesn’t seem to be any open-source, end-to-end encrypted software for keeping a journal. In my research, apart from a few self-hosted projects, I couldn’t find an open-source, trustworthy journaling app offered by a company. Apple has an app that looks nice, but it’s closed-source.
I don’t keep a journal myself, but for people who do, this could be a great idea. I think Proton could consider this and release an end-to-end encrypted Proton Journal. Honestly, it seems sensible and I believe people would use it.

LaTex rendering in Lumo
When using Lumo in my web browser (both Firefox and Librewolf) LaTex does not render properly. For example, Lumo returned the following:
[ x^T A x \geq 0 \quad \forall x ]
instead of the actual LaTex rendering.
It would be nice if you could have Lumo actually render this.

Ability to share files/folders with non-proton users by sharing a link and password instead of having to create an account
Absolutely need the ability to share a link to a file or folder on Proton Drive with a non-proton user without them having to create an account at all, e.g. proton user could simply share a password with the recipient and they could then access the file or folder via a link with that password.
The fact recipients have to create an account makes them opt out and request the use of unsecured channels for file sharing. This is NOT the way. Please add this ability to remove this important element of friction that’s preventing users from using proton services…

docs
Adding headers, footers, and (editable) pagination would be appreciated by those who edit course materials, along with more font options, even if they have to be uploaded to your platforms.
And if this type of feature is complicated to implement online due to hosting providers, why not also create a Proton Docs desktop app?
Sincerely,

Improve Proton Calendar notifications on Linux (sound, persistence, snooze)
On Linux (Ubuntu / GNOME), Proton Calendar notifications are easy to miss: they are transient, quiet, and disappear after a few seconds if you are away from the screen.
There is currently no way to:
• enable audible alerts
• make notifications persistent until dismissed
• snooze calendar remindersThis makes Proton Calendar significantly less usable on Linux compared to mobile platforms and even basic desktop calendar apps.
Please consider improving Linux notifications by supporting one or more of the following:
• notification sounds
• persistent / actionable notifications
• snooze support
• better integration with Linux desktop notification standards…10 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…6 votes -
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.

A video hosting platform
YouTube started getting accused of using AI and getting large creators banned. Proton already has a userbase and this is a great opportunity to make one.

See through all ideas
There are lots of ideas here on the platform. Many have already been implemented. Perhaps we should go through all the users' ideas and mark those that have already been implemented as completed with a link to the documentation page. That would save a lot.

Native Thunderbird integration for Mail + Calendar (without Bridge)
Description:
Thunderbird is one of the most widely used desktop email clients in the open-source ecosystem. Presently, Proton Mail can only be accessed through the Bridge, and Proton Calendar cannot be used at all. This causes several limitations:
• The Bridge must always be running in the background;
• There is no native calendar support in Thunderbird;
• Reliability and performance depend on a proxy layer instead of direct protocols;Meanwhile, Mozilla has just merged K-9 into Thunderbird as their official Android app and is developing Thundermail—a new service platform that will offer online mail, documents, spreadsheets, slides, and more.…
