If you’re a fan of Proton’s popular Mail and Calendar apps, we have some good news. This week, the Swiss company revealed that Proton Mail is about to get its biggest overhaul yet, full of features we’ve come to expect from Gmail, along with all-new apps for Android and iOS.

While it all started with Proton Mail, the privacy-focused company now has an entire ecosystem of apps. Two of its most popular—Mail and Calendar—are being completely rebuilt from the ground up this spring, delivering new features, improved controls, better iPad support, faster performance, and more. While these apps are currently under testing, here’s what you can expect in the coming months.

A New and Improved Proton Mail

First, Proton Mail is getting a huge overhaul with massive quality-of-life improvements. Some of its changes last year brought it closer to Gmail, without the privacy concerns, and that’s going to continue here in 2025.

The Proton Mail app for Android and iOS will get a new Category View, making organizing emails by type and which ones send you notifications easier. The new “Attachment View” will be one place to see every file you’ve ever received, from receipts to important documents, and an easier way to save any of those files directly to Proton Drive from the Mail app. Here’s what Anant Vijay, Product lead for Proton Mail, had to say about this upcoming release:

The company is also integrating a new newsletter management feature to track all your subscriptions, offline mode, advanced message search, and improved speed and performance. A lot of this sounds like the category and subscription controls in Gmail, which are pretty popular.

Additionally, Proton Mail for Business will get new solutions that make it easy to use a custom domain, and email retention controls to define how long emails get saved. Overall, these sound like excellent changes that bring Proton closer to some of the most popular email apps on the market. Again, this is currently under development and testing, with a release date scheduled for this summer.

Everything Coming to the Proton Calendar App

Additionally, look out for a vastly improved Proton Calendar app this summer. While the company will revamp aspects and features of Proton Calendar for all platforms, some of the biggest changes are for the iPad.

The all-new Proton Calendar app for iOS will have improved iPad support, a highly requested feature. Other changes to the Calendar app for Android and iOS include edit access for shared calendars, new home screen widgets, and more. Further down the road, Proton aims to support much-requested features like tasks, search capabilities, and offline access inside the Calendar.

While we wait for the all-new Proton Mail app and improved Calendar apps, the company is still busy adding new features to its Drive and Docs apps. You can even get Proton VPN for free inside the Vivaldi browser.
