That, plus the fact that Google routinely looks through the information in your inbox and calendar − yes, that includes the content of emails − might have made you consider alternatives. The launch comes after a rough end of the year for rival Google’s calendar app, during which many users found their calendars spammed with events from third party groups sneakily targeting email inboxes. These include a share calendar feature, an option to sync your ProtonMail inbox with your ProtonCalendar and iOS and Android apps for the calendar. In its current form, ProtonCalendar allows users to create and delete events, set reminders and set events to repeat daily, weekly or monthly, with more features scheduled to arrive between the beta and the app’s public release in 2020. The title, description, location and participants of every event you schedule are encrypted before they reach ProtonMail’s servers, meaning that not even the provider can access the personal data that may be hidden in your events.

ProtonCalendar is an end-to-end encrypted desktop app. ProtonMail has launched an encrypted Google Calendar alternative for beta users, making the idea of ditching Google’s Gmail a bit less daunting.
