Our Beliefs

• Swiping, tapping, and waiting for screens to load is inefficient
• A universal search UI can significantly improve this experience
• Android's open system is fundamental to its design
• The data needed for a powerful universal search exists, but it needs to be integrated into a seamless experience
• Respecting user data is crucial for long-term success. Your data remains on your device; we don’t store it or sell it (exceptions for bug fixing detailed below)
• Our revenue model is based on creating a quality product. Sesame is a 100% voluntary purchase
• We prioritize user-centered development, as discussed on www.reddit.com/r/sesame
