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

    So unclear. What the heck is this, even?? I installed this only because Nova launcher suggested... And I am still confused and don't understand what this app gives me. The only time I saw the "shortcuts" are when I removed an app, and noticed my Nova app search kept showing some defunct links, that were apparently related to that app... I find this useless & confusing. Sad thing is, if they worked a little on explaining the usage of it, I might like it...

    I wish it didn't preview anything until I started typing and that I could hide/pin app suggestions. That would make it a bit more like Apple's search.
