Proton Mail's official iOS client for end-to-end encrypted email, written in Swift/SwiftUI with core business logic in a Rust-based SDK. The repository is published for transparency and currently cannot be built from source externally due to internal SDK distribution.

Use cases

  • send and receive end-to-end encrypted email on iPhone
  • access a privacy-focused email client on iOS
  • review how a production encrypted mail client is architected
  • study SwiftUI and Rust SDK integration patterns in a large app
  • audit the iOS client code of Proton Mail

When to choose

  • you want transparency into Proton Mail's iOS development and architecture
  • you are studying how Swift apps bind to Rust core logic
  • you want to inspect the UI layer of an encrypted email client

When to avoid

  • you want to build, fork, or contribute to the app — it cannot be built externally and contributions are not accepted
  • you need a fully open-source, self-hostable email client
  • you need an email client for platforms other than iOS
