We Believe...
- Swiping, tapping, and waiting for screens to load is inefficient
- A universal search UI can solve this issue
- Android is meant to be an open system
- The data to create the most powerful universal search exists, but it needs to be integrated into a seamless experience
- Respecting user data leads to long-term success. Your data remains on your device; we don't store or sell it (see exceptions for bug fixing below)
- We earn revenue by creating a quality product. Sesame is a voluntary purchase
