Cue, originally called Greplin, was a San Francisco–based website and app launched in 2010. It pulled information from your online accounts to give a single view of your day. By connecting accounts like Facebook, LinkedIn, and Twitter, Cue let you search across all linked services without signing into each one. It worked as a desktop search for your personal cloud, indexing your online accounts.

There was a free version with a limited number of connected accounts and a paid version that unlocked more sources and extra storage. In 2011, Cue raised $4 million from Sequoia Capital. Premium plans cost about $5 per month for 500 MB of extra storage or $15 per month for 2 GB.

In October 2013, Apple acquired Cue for an estimated $35–$45 million. Premium users were refunded, and the product was discontinued.
