We Believe...

• Swiping, tapping, and waiting for screens to load is inefficient
• A universal search UI can streamline this process
• Android was designed to be an open system
• The data needed for a powerful universal search exists, but no one has yet integrated it into a seamless experience
• Respecting user data leads to long-term success. Your data remains on your device, and we neither store nor sell it (see exceptions for bug fixing below)
• Our revenue comes from creating a quality product. Sesame is a 100% voluntary purchase
• In user-centered development: www.reddit.com/r/sesame
