We have just shared our Spring and Summer 2026 roadmaps, outlining our commitments for improvements and new features across the Proton ecosystem.

Here is a summary of planned updates:

Proton Mail

Introduction of a category view to automatically sort emails by type
Multi-inbox management, including sending and receiving Gmail messages within Proton Mail
Improved mobile search with full email body indexing performed on-device

Proton Calendar

Complete rewrite of the application
Planned support for offline mode and a modernized user experience
Proton as your default calendar on Android
New foundation to support additional features

Proton VPN

New WireGuard-based codebase to improve speed, stability, and anti-censorship capabilities
Beta rollout planned for Windows and Android, followed by macOS, iOS, and Linux
Updated Linux interface and support for Stealth protocol
Connection preference exclusions planned for Windows

Proton Pass

Introduction of folders for organizing passwords, notes, and aliases
SSH agent support for simpler authentication in developer workflows
Improved autofill with enhanced URL matching and iFrame support

Proton Drive

Performance improvements have already been deployed for shared file downloads and uploads
Additional speed improvements planned
macOS document and folder synchronization
SDK rollout across platforms
Our Linux application will be worked on during this period too

Proton Docs and Sheets

Ongoing usability and collaboration improvements
Table of contents and other requested features for Docs
Expanded functionality for Sheets

Lumo AI

Planned update with improved memory and customization options
Desktop application in development, a central hub for Lumo
Lumo API planned for organizational use

Everything we’ve released in the last year, including our new products and every new feature for our core services, has been possible because of your support.

As an independent, European alternative to Big Tech, we see building a private ecosystem of apps as a reclamation of our rights to privacy on the internet and a reminder that there’s a better way to build tech: for people, not profit.

Your investment in our mission is what helps us make better products. Feedback is invaluable to our teams, so let us know on Discord, X, Bluesky, Facebook, LinkedIn, Threads, Telegram, Reddit, and UserVoice, or leave us a review in the App Store or Play Store.

Thank you for helping us build a more private internet, and we’ll see you in the fall for our next roadmap updates.

Stay Safe,
Proton Team

I’m happy about a lot of this, especially improvements on Linux and more attention to Proton Calendar!

Hoping the new calendar will finally have a search. That’s the one reason I have to revert to Google calendar at times

theherk@lemmy.world on 25 Apr 16:31 next collapse

Noooooo. Need integrated contacts. Priority 1!

And it doesn’t even seem that hard? Like give an intern a summer project or something. I don’t know shit about app development but this seems a lot easier than 2FA app, an AI assistant, Sheets, Docs, a fucking video chat platform, or any of the other myriad products they’ve put out since this was requested on their UserVoice feedback site.

I’ve been using etesync for contacts to fill the void when I first discovered it wasn’t supported. I don’t really use any of the other features outside of a e2ee cloud sync of contacts.

Stupendous@lemmy.world on 25 Apr 16:40 next collapse

Proton Drive has improved. Linux app is welcome. I want some serious improvements to shared photo albums. Preloading of some amount of previous/next images in the order being viewed. I really want to completely drop google photos

Linux drive synch is really late to the party here, glad its not dead though.

BlackEco@lemmy.blackeco.com on 25 Apr 16:54 next collapse

I only want two things: Google Task-like reminders in Calendar and contacts syncing on Android. I’m disappointed.

parson0@startrek.website on 25 Apr 17:34 next collapse

Please also stop adding everyone who is in any email thread to my contacts

shortwavesurfer@lemmy.zip on 25 Apr 23:23 next collapse

They are missing one serious thing, taking Monero for payments.

RodgeGrabTheCat@sh.itjust.works on 26 Apr 01:28 next collapse

If the VPN app for Linux gets done within the next year or two I’ll be shocked.

Zach777@lemmy.ml on 26 Apr 01:56 next collapse

Finally they are planning on adding Stealth mode for Linux.

grapemix@lemmy.ml on 26 Apr 05:30 next collapse

Their zoom replacement is really expensive. what they really need is providing more affordable services, but that’s the hardest part. Developing features users don’t need just hurt their business. Anyway, if you can afford, their services are good

CtrlAltDyeet@anarchist.nexus on 26 Apr 13:13 next collapse

Nice! Really keen for some of these features :)

No idea how it will be possible to send gmail messages from within proton but I think that would help so much for people migrating

tonur@feddit.dk on 26 Apr 14:06 next collapse

I hope the ProtonPass browser extension gets Biometric support, it is my greatest wish!

Matakite@lemmy.ml on 26 Apr 16:34 collapse

let’s see how many of these roadmap targets actually happen
