Our Philosophy...

• Manually swiping, tapping, and waiting for apps to load is inefficient

• A universal search interface can eliminate this friction

• Android was built as an open platform for customization

• The data needed for a powerful universal search exists, but it hasn't been integrated into a seamless user experience—until now

• Respecting user privacy ensures long-term success. Your data stays on your device; we never store or sell it (exceptions for bug fixes are noted below)

• We succeed by creating a great product. Sesame is a 100% voluntary purchase
