In the 12 years since Proton began, millions of people have joined our mission to make the internet safer and more private, including over 100,000 businesses and nonprofits. They rely on Proton’s encrypted suite to protect their customers and teams, and we’ve continued to add more services and plans to support them — most recently with the launch of Proton Workspace.
Today we’re excited to announce the next addition to Proton Workspace with our secure appointment scheduling tool in Proton Calendar.
You can now easily create public booking pages that show when you’re available, and your clients can book an appointment in seconds. It automatically creates a new event on your calendar and generates a private Proton Meet link where you can have a secure video call. New events are zero-access encrypted, so all the details stay between you and your contact. Not even we have access.
For people dependent on platforms like Calendly, this means you no longer have to pay an extra subscription or give away calendar data to third-party services where it can be leaked or spied on. It’s a perfect tool if your business is based on appointments or if you want to save time finding an available slot to meet with colleagues or friends.
And it’s available in our new Proton Workspace plan, which combines all our business productivity tools into a single plan for complete data protection.
Part of a seamless encrypted workspace
The new appointment scheduling tool is fully integrated with Proton Calendar and Proton Meet to protect your business data end to end.
That’s important because your team calendar contains a trove of information about you and your business activities: your location, your priorities, and your contacts. It’s critical to keep that information protected from Big Tech platforms that could monetize or leak it, and from hackers who could use it against you for fraud or phishing attacks. Using a third-party booking platform spreads your information across the internet and increases your risk of a data breach, especially when those tools don’t use strong encryption.
Appointment scheduling bridges two fundamental business tools: Proton Calendar and the all-new Proton Meet for encrypted video calls. It’s not enough for a business to be able to plan and host a secure video conference — they also need to be able to schedule it. Our appointment scheduling tool fills this gap.
How appointment scheduling works
Appointment scheduling is simple to set up, and it’s available on all paid Proton Mail plans, Proton bundles, Meet Professional, and Proton Workspace. Teams with Workspace can create up to 25 booking pages to support multiple meeting purposes and durations.
In your Proton Calendar, just add a new booking page, give it a name, and specify the times you’re available. Your booking page will have a link that you can share publicly, such as on your website, email signature, or social media profile.
Whenever someone books a meeting with you, the event will instantly sync directly to your calendar (so it’s not possible to double book). And your contact will receive a confirmation email. If you’ve selected Proton Meet as the location for the meeting, the confirmation will include a secure meeting link.
The time, description, and participants on every event are zero-access encrypted, meaning it’s locked with your private encryption key and can’t be accessed by Proton or anyone else.

Power your growth with Proton Calendar
With appointment scheduling, Proton Calendar becomes more than just a way to track your schedule — it’s a way to grow your business. If you’re a professional service provider, letting clients book meetings is a core part of your business model. But even if your business doesn’t run on external meetings, the appointment scheduling tool can help you save time or be more available to your team.
Appointment scheduling is perfect for:
- Privacy-first providers like therapists, health clinics, law firms, and financial advisers
- Managers or executives looking to save time when setting up meetings
- Tutors scheduling time with students or professors hosting office hours
- And many more business professionals…
Securing your meetings isn’t just about protecting your own business, it’s also about protecting the people you do business with. When it comes to fields like healthcare, data protection is even an ethical and legal obligation. Appointment scheduling in Proton Calendar helps you meet those obligations while signaling to your customers that your business takes security seriously.
