ProtonMail is the world’s largest encrypted email service with millions of users. The ProtonMail secure email app for Android brings easy-to-use email encryption to your mobile device by seamlessly integrating PGP end-to-end encryption. ProtonMail also provides a modern user interface with a full set of innovative features such as customizable swipe gestures and the ability to send expiring emails.

With the ProtonMail app, you can:

Create a new protonmail.com email address with automatic PGP key creation and management
Send and receive encrypted emails and attachments automatically
Set timers for messages to self-destruct after sending
Quickly organize emails with customizable swipe gestures and labels
Get push notification of new emails
Send password protected encrypted emails to non-ProtonMail email addresses

Note: the app is using the Sentry.io library. ProtonMail self-hosts the server part, so this is no "third-party" tracking you. Hence the Tracking AntiFeature is not applied.

Anti-Features:

NonFreeComp (the application includes non-free components):
⇒ The app contains libraries of Google Mobile Services, Google Play Core, Firebase.
NonFreeNet (this application promotes/depends a non-Free network service):
⇒ The app connects to Google servers (Firebase/cloud messaging, PlayStore).

Download Source ChangeLog

While you can download the APKs here directly, you should preferably use an F-Droid client so the app stays up-to-date on your device. Some clients have this repo enabled by default, e.g. Neo Store or, of course, the IzzyOnDroid client by Sunil. With others (like the official client) you'll have to add this repo manually (see the hint on top of the package list for how to do that).
