Our Beliefs



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

  • A universal search UI can solve this issue.

  • Android was always meant to be an open system.

  • The data to create the most powerful universal search is available, but no one has integrated it into a smooth experience.

  • Respecting user data leads to long-term success; your data stays on your device.

  • We generate revenue by providing a quality product; Sesame is a 100% voluntary purchase.

  • We focus on user-centered development: Join our community
