  • A universal search UI can streamline your phone usage
  • Android is meant to be an open system
  • The data needed for a powerful universal search exists, but it requires a seamless integration to deliver the best experience
  • Respecting user data is crucial for long-term success. Your data stays on your device; we don’t store or sell it (see exceptions for bug fixing below)
  • Our revenue comes from creating a quality product. Sesame is a 100% voluntary purchase
