Proton Calendar: Secure Events

Really enjoy this calendar and its security 👍 There are a few features that I wish would exist though. I’d appreciate a search option to be able to search for an event, instead of having to go through each Day until I find it. I’d also love it if it would remember events I’ve created in the past, so that it could auto-fill in some of the specifics for frequently added events (ie. the event location, notifications, which specific calendar). Lastly (and I think this might be a bug), I’d like it to remember how long I’ve set the duration for specific calendar events to be. For example, in settings, I’ve set my “work” calendar’s duration for events to be 120 minutes, but, no matter which calendar I select, it defaults to 30 minutes so I have to change it manually. *I generally use the app, so some of these may be available on a desktop browser, and if so, please let me know!* Overall, I like this calendar a lot, and offer these desires as I’d love to see them come into fruition to make my Experience more easeful. These are really just conveniences, but ones that I became used to when I used the apple calendar before. This is now my sole calendar and I’m very grateful for it! Appreciate all the effort that has gone into creating it and the security it offers ♥️

I am a Proton Unlimited subscriber because I love the platform and their commitment to privacy. Pros: -Simple/attractive UI -Solid basic calendar features Cons: Requires a little extra effort and a few workarounds to tailor this calendar to your personal needs. Birthdays: -automatic Integration of birthdays from our contact lists is preferable here but still notably not an option. Workaround: -In the meantime, I just created a ‘Birthdays’ calendar and manually added each one myself. US Holidays: -Currently, there are a lot of holidays( of which I’m used to being alerted to via iCloud calendar) that are not included in this feature. Workaround: -I disabled Proton’s built in ‘Holidays’ calendar and created my own, manually inputting each one. Thankfully, you can add calendars from other platforms via URL (note that these cannot be altered in the Proton app and this feature has its limitations as it is not updated or synced in real time). Overall, Proton’s commitment to privacy and putting their users first as well as their continuous improvement to the platform, for the most part, alleviates any reservations I might have otherwise had. I didn’t mind putting in a little extra effort to tailor the app to my needs. That being said, I hope they continue to listen to user feedback and implement new features sooner rather than later.

Performs the basics with reminders, good visualization, location, and making it recurring. Missing the ability to share a calendar currently, which is currently being worked on. This is a core function of a calendar though, and should integrate better with their email services, even if these functions are restricted to other working Proton users. I hate to rate something down for a service it openly declares is not currently implemented, this is pretty central to a calendar app and is currently keeping me from fully migrating to Proton Calendar. The app also needs additional security found on Proton Mail and Proton Drive where it allows for the use of a password/pin and/or biometric on startup. Looking forward to the updates, and of course I will update my review when things change. edit: Thank you for the reply! I did not see sharing was an option since I primarily use the app on iOS. I will try it out from the PC see if I can share and then still update and use it from iOS. Not ideal, but at least a work around.
