Our Beliefs

• Swiping, tapping, and waiting for screens to load is outdated
• A universal search UI can streamline your experience
• Android's open system was meant to be fully utilized
• The data for a powerful universal search exists, but no one has yet to create a seamless experience
• Respecting user data is key to long-term success. Your data stays on your device, and we don't store or sell it (with exceptions for bug fixing, detailed below)
• We earn revenue by creating a quality product. Sesame is a 100% voluntary purchase
• We prioritize user-centered development: www.reddit.com/r/sesame
