Key Benefits
Always-on, No Subscription Safety

Powerful Threat Deterrence
Bright strobes and the loudest siren of any item-finder draw instant attention and can warn off would-be trouble.
Instant Safety Circle Notifications
Your location is pushed to your Safety Circle the instant Alert is triggered, so the people you trust can help.
Cross-platform & Worldwide
Runs through the Pebblebee app on both iOS and Android and travels anywhere your phone has data.
One Everyday Device, Two Functions
Besides Alert, the Clip helps find misplaced keys, bags and other items via Apple® Find My™ or Google’s Find Hub, sparing you extra gadgets.

Supporting Information
How is Alert different from the normal “beep-to-find” feature on Pebblebee Clip?
Alert is a safety feature that lives alongside the regular item-finding sound. Instead of a gentle tone, it flashes a bright strobe, the loudest siren of any item-finder, and an automatic location ping to your Safety Circle for real-world backup.
How is the free plan different from Alert Live?
Alert is, and will always be, free. Alert Live is an upgraded paid subscription plan that increases your Safety Circle members to 5 trusted contacts as well as sharing your live location instead of a static map.
Both now offer a silent mode without the siren & strobe for discreet notifications.
How do I activate Alert in an emergency?
Press the Clip’s button rapidly until you see the LEDs flash and audible siren to confirm Alert is active.
Who belongs in my Safety Circle and how many contacts can I add?
Add the people you trust — roommates, parents, friends. The free tier supports one contact and Alert Live supports 5 contacts.
How will my Safety Circle know I need help?
They receive an SMS with your location, allowing them to call, text, or navigate straight to you. For Alert Live customers, they will receive live location instead of a static map offered in the free version.
Does Alert provide live tracking?
Yes. Alert Live offers live location sharing while the free version sends a one-time map location.
Will Alert work overseas?
Absolutely. As long as your phone has data coverage, the Pebblebee cloud can notify your Safety Circle almost anywhere in the world.
Does Alert require a subscription?
No. The Alert functionality including the siren, strobe, and first Safety Circle contact is and will always be completely free. The Alert Live paid subscription is optional for the additional features.
Which phones and platforms are supported?
Alert runs through the Pebblebee app on both iOS 16.2+ and Android 9+. Meanwhile, the Clip’s everyday tracking integrates with Apple Find My for iPhone users or Google’s Find Hub for Android users.
How long will the strobe and siren run?
They continue for up to 1 minute or until you manually stop Alert with another rapid-press burst or single long press.
Do I need to re-pair my Clip if I change my phone?
No. The Pebblebee app on your new device and your Clip, Alert settings, and Safety Circle carry over automatically.
How secure is my location data?
Pebblebee uses end-to-end encryption. Only you and the contacts you invite can view the Alert location pin; we never sell or share that data with third parties.
Can my Safety Circle see my location all the time?
No. They receive your coordinates only when Alert is triggered. The rest of the time, your location stays private.
How is Alert different from item finder products?
While other competing item finders require a monthly subscription or do not have on-device strobe lights nor loud sirens, Pebblebee Alert works right out of the box with one Safety Circle contact.
Why choose Alert over dedicated personal-safety devices?
Safety needs to always be within reach. Niche personal alarms may offer a loud alarm but can be bulky or not readily reachable. Nor can they help you find your lost items or share your location digitally. Pebblebee Clip does both: item finding every day and Alert protection when you need it.
What happens if I accidentally trigger Alert?
Stop it with either a second rapid-press burst or a single long press. Your Safety Circle will get a follow-up message if Alert is canceled.
Where can I see the status of my invitations?
Open the Safety tab in the Pebblebee app. It lists every Circle you’re in, shows who’s accepted, who’s pending, and lets you resend invites with one tap.
What do my Safety Circle members need to do to start receiving alerts?
All they have to do is open the SMS invitation Pebblebee sends on your behalf and tap the link; they will then need to confirm their phone number and accept or reject your invitation.
Do my Safety Circle members need the Pebblebee app installed?
No. Your contacts receive Alert notifications via SMS and can view your location in a secure mobile browser; they don’t need to download the Pebblebee app unless they want to.
Does Alert work on other Pebblebee products like Card or Tag?
No. Alert is exclusive to Pebblebee Clip. Card, Tag and other products remain great item finders, but they don’t include the Alert safety mode.
