This fall we’re continuing to build the tools you need to take control of your digital life without compromising on privacy. From adding major improvements to Proton Mail to developing foundational upgrades for Drive, VPN, Pass, and Lumo, our roadmap reflects a simple belief: Your tools should empower you, not exploit you.
We created this roadmap after spending the past several months reviewing your feedback. The features you see here are often direct responses to the most popular requests we’ve received. This is one of the best ways to ensure you want to use the tools we build.
These roadmaps are also a crucial part of being accountable to you. As a community-supported organization, it’s important that you know both the direction of Proton and that we’re delivering on our promises. You can look back at our spring and summer roadmaps to track our progress.
Here’s what you can expect in the upcoming months.
Proton Mail and Calendar
Smarter inboxes with Category view
It’s easy to feel overwhelmed by the deluge of emails we get on a daily basis. Proton Mail will make it easier to find what matters by automatically sorting your emails into purpose-built categories, such as Primary, Social, Updates, Forum, Promotions, Newsletters, and Transactions. You’ll still have full control of your inbox, with the ability to configure categories to suit your preferences. And your emails remain fully encrypted, so your privacy is never compromised even as your inbox organizes itself.
Easy Switch for businesses
Many businesses run on email, which can make it feel like they’re putting their productivity at risk if they switch providers. To make things easier for small and medium-sized organizations, we’re building a dedicated onboarding experience to help them migrate from Google Workspace or Microsoft 365 to Proton. This flow is designed to make switching simple, secure, and fast, with Proton Mail, Calendar, and eventually Drive fully integrated from day one.
Smaller features and improvements
In addition to some of these bigger items, there will be dozens of smaller improvements and features, particularly on mobile where we are currently working through all of your feedback on Proton Mail v7 on iOS and Android.
Proton VPN
Expanding access: Free VPN servers in 10 countries
Unfortunately, more and more countries are resorting to censoring the internet and social media. To ensure everyone can exercise their right to privacy and access the uncensored internet, Proton VPN has added VPN servers in the following five countries to our Free plan: Mexico, Canada, Switzerland, Norway, and Singapore. This means you have the possibility of connecting to the internet from 10 countries without paying, providing everyone with better connection speeds and greater global coverage.
A new, in-house VPN architecture
From advanced censorship regimes to recent developments in quantum computing, VPNs face more and more challenges worldwide. To make online freedom the default for everyone, we must improve Proton VPN’s anti-censorship capabilities, provide post-quantum encryption, and be able to deploy advanced features swiftly across all our apps. To make this possible, we’re building our own in-house VPN architecture.
Power and customizability CLI for Linux
One of the community’s most popular requests(nuova finestra) is arriving: A command-line interface for Proton VPN on Linux. This unlocks more customization, greater control, and easier integration of our VPN into your preferred workflows.
To find out more, we have a dedicated blog post on what Proton VPN has planned(nuova finestra) for the upcoming months.
Proton Drive
Shared drives for collaboration
Whether you’re leading a team, running a small business, or managing your family’s files, keeping everyone up to date can mean you’re constantly forwarding files or duplicating folders. We’ll introduce Shared Drives for businesses and families to simplify secure collaboration. You’ll soon be able to work together in one secure, shared storage space. Proton for Business plans get multiple Shared Drives (one per department, client, or team), while our Duo and Family plans will include one shared drive.
Better performance
Speed matters. This has been one of the most consistent pieces of feedback we’ve received, and we’re happy to be able to address it. We’re rebuilding all our Drive apps around our new new SDK (see below) to handle faster uploads and downloads.
SDK lays the foundation for Linux and beyond
We’re continuing work on the Drive SDK. You can expect further performance upgrades that will roll out across all our apps simultaneously. This new SDK will also be the foundation for our eagerly anticipated Linux app(nuova finestra). It will give us the building blocks to improve compatibility, drive faster innovation, and expand Proton Drive to more platforms.
Proton Pass
Folder and subfolder support
We heard from many of you(nuova finestra) that you don’t just use Pass for passwords — it’s also where you store the files you always need access to. But without a clear system, these items could get lost in the clutter. That’s why we’ll introduce folders and subfolders to the Proton Pass vaults. This will let you keep your files, and your life, organized. Whether you’re storing travel documents, project credentials, personal records, or business contracts, you’ll soon be able to create a system that makes everything easy to find.
Command-line power with Proton Pass CLI
The Proton Pass CLI puts developers in control. Access, create, and manage items directly from your terminal to build secure workflows and automate development tasks. With the CLI, you can integrate credential handling into your CI/CD pipelines without compromising privacy, bringing speed, flexibility, and end-to-end encryption to your command line.
Upgraded autofill
Autofill makes signing in faster and simpler, and it helps reduce the risk of being fooled by a phishing site. To ensure you can enjoy this convenience and additional security for all your logins, we’re making Proton Pass’s autofill smarter and more flexible. It’s one of our most requested features(nuova finestra), and it’s almost here. Coming updates will improve compatibility with complex login forms or websites that don’t follow web standards. They’ll also add support for basic authentication pop-ups and autotype, which will allow Pass to autofill credential into desktop apps that don’t natively support autofill.
Lumo by Proton
Add and generate images privately
Sometimes you don’t need an answer from your AI assistant as much as you need help visualizing your idea or adding context. Lumo will soon support image uploads and generation, which will help you express yourself more fully while ensuring your images stay private and aren’t used to train AI.
Lumo will offer Memory
Your AI assistant should offer answers and solutions tailored specifically to you. Soon, Lumo will be able to do just that. We’re developing Memory, which will allow Lumo to reference your past conversations so it has more context and can deliver personalized responses that meet your needs. These memories will remain encrypted so no one can access them but you, meaning you remain in control.
Custom GPTs, your way
Your AI should adapt to you, not the other way around. With Custom GPTs, you’ll be able to create multiple AI assistants tuned to your preferences, workflows, or specific projects. This will give you all the productivity and efficiency gains of an AI tailored to your specific needs while protecting your queries with Proton’s privacy-first infrastructure.
Building a people-first internet together
The internet wasn’t meant to be a playground for bots and corporations — it was meant to empower people. At Proton, we still believe the internet can help people do extraordinary things, and we’re working to build a better internet where people’s privacy and freedom come first.
This is only possible because of you. The Proton community has always been our greatest strength. You don’t just support our mission, you’re actively shaping it. Every feature in this roadmap began as a comment or a question from someone like you.
