Proton Mail, currently in beta, has dropped a bombshell for Windows and MacOS users, granting full access to its coveted suite — Proton Mail and Proton Calendar. This sleek new app packs a punch with a whopping 50 enhancements, promising a turbocharged productivity boost along with impenetrable security. And wait, there's more: offline email access is on the horizon, a forthcoming treat announced by the folks at Proton.
Bringing encrypted email, calendar, file storage, and VPN services under one roof, Proton champions the ethos of "your data, your rules." Their battle cry against data exploitation by tech giants, governments, and hackers echoes through every encrypted byte. Offering privacy and freedom as non-negotiables, Proton's subscription, available until January 4th at around $30 per month, puts your digital sovereignty front and centre.
Andy Yen, the visionary Founder and CEO of Proton, underlines the advantages of a desktop app over browser-based usage. "Many prefer the comfort of a desktop app for email, and unlike Gmail, we're delivering that," he proudly declares.
Proton Mail's desktop avatar doesn't shun other third-party email desktop apps either. With Proton Mail Bridge, users can configure these apps seamlessly, upholding their commitment to user-friendly, privacy-centric products.
CTO Bart Butler lauds this move as a breakthrough in encrypted email services. "We're breaking ground by defaulting end-to-end encryption between Proton Mail accounts, ensuring watertight security," he explains. Overcoming the technical Everest of re-encrypting messages for multiple recipients without server interference was no mean feat, Butler admits.
Proton Mail's desktop revolution isn't just about convenience — it's a triumph for privacy, freedom, and the relentless pursuit of uncompromised digital security.
