We Believe...

• Swiping, tapping, and waiting for screens to load is slow

• A universal search UI can fix this problem

• Android was always meant to be an open system

• The raw data to build the most powerful universal search is there, but no one has stitched it together into a smooth experience

• Respecting user data = long term success. Your data stays on your device. We don’t store it. We don't sell it. (see exceptions for bug fixing below)

• We make money by making a good product. Sesame is a 100% voluntary purchase

• In user centered development: www.reddit.com/r/sesame
