If you have a Pebblebee Clip, one of the first trackers for Android’s Find Hub network, you’re getting a free new feature in “Alert” which can activate a siren as well as sending your location to a “Circle” of friends and family in an emergency.

Rolling out starting today through the Pebblebee app, “Alert” is a safety-focused feature that allows the Pebblebee Clip to double as an emergency tool. With a “Rapid Press” on the Clip’s button, you’ll be able to activate its built-in siren alongside making the built-in LED flash like a strobe light.

Meanwhile, this mode also sends an SMS message to a number of pre-selected family and friends with your location. This works as long as the Clip is still nearby your smartphone.

“Alert” is completely free, and works through your existing Pebblebee Clip (or a new one, available on Amazon for $34.99). The feature is rolling out now through the Pebblebee app for both Android and iOS.

“For over a decade, we’ve focused on helping people track what matters most,” said Pebblebee CEO and founder Daniel Daoura. “But as a dad, I wanted more than just peace of mind over where something is — I wanted personal safety that’s always within reach. So we built Alert. Now the same Clip that helps you find your keys can help keep you, or your loved ones, safe in a moment of crisis.”

New Rapid Press & Safety Circle Features

While most safety devices are bulky, obvious, or targeted to specific groups, Alert is inclusive by design — sleek, subtle, and already in your everyday carry. Whether you’re a student walking home, a commuter on a late train, or a parent traveling with kids, Alert provides a quiet confidence: protection without stigma.

Here’s how it works:

Rapid-press the Clip to trigger the siren and flashing strobe — even if your phone is out of reach.

Alert your Safety Circle (pre-selected contacts) via the Pebblebee app and backend services. Notifications are sent as long as your phone is nearby.

No subscription. No extra hardware. Just peace of mind built into what you already carry.

“Alert does for personal safety what smartphones did for cameras,” continued Daoura. “It makes safety seamless — not something extra to remember, but something that’s always with you.”
