Do not mistake the interface for the product. Proton Unlimited's durable value is security, infrastructure, trust, which a solo one-shot build cannot reproduce responsibly. The prompt therefore builds only the closest honest personal consolation tool.

# Proton Unlimited indie build

## Goal

Build the smallest trustworthy replacement for the core Proton Unlimited workflow for one developer or a tiny team.

## Scope

Build a local diagnostic or backup companion for privacy suite; do not claim to replace audited security, identity, VPN, or cloud-storage infrastructure.

## Quick start

1. Install the documented dependencies.
2. Copy `.env.example` to `.env`.
3. Run the development command chosen during implementation.
4. Complete the acceptance checks in `BUILD_PLAN.md`.

## Honest limits

This build deliberately does not replace:
- calendar-provider edge cases and timezone correctness
- audited cryptography and incident response
- global network or redundant storage infrastructure
- identity, credit, or broker-removal operations
- recovery guarantees and regulated trust

If those capabilities are essential, use Nextcloud instead of pretending the gap is solved.

Proton Unlimited: Security subscriptions buy professional operations, audits, response capacity, redundancy, and accountability when something goes wrong.

questions
Vibecode Proton Unlimited

Not really. Proton Unlimited's value is not the code: . See the honest breakdown above.

How much does Proton Unlimited cost?

Proton Unlimited costs about $12.99/month (Unlimited, checked 2026-07-31), which is $155.88 per year.

What do I lose by replacing Proton Unlimited?

Honestly: calendar-provider edge cases and timezone correctness; audited cryptography and incident response; global network or redundant storage infrastructure; identity, credit, or broker-removal operations; recovery guarantees and regulated trust. If any of those are load-bearing for you, keep paying.

Is there an open-source alternative to Proton Unlimited?

Yes: Nextcloud (Open-source file sync, sharing, and collaboration server.), Syncthing (Peer-to-peer continuous file synchronization.). Using prior art is also vibecoding; the prompt is for when you want it exactly your way.
