Pebblebee Halo: The Location Tracker That Doubles as a Panic Alarm
Pebblebee's new Halo tracker features a 130dB siren and strobe light, bridging the gap between item tracking and personal safety.
A Location Tracker Built for Personal Security
Pebblebee has officially expanded its hardware lineup with the launch of the Halo, a new location tracker that prioritizes personal safety. While primarily designed to track belongings, the Halo distinguishes itself from competitors like the Apple AirTag by incorporating high-intensity audio and visual alarms.
The device is available starting today for $59.99 on Pebblebee’s official website, with availability on Amazon scheduled for April 20th.
More Than Just a Key Finder
The Halo serves as an evolution of Pebblebee’s previous "Clip" tracker. It is physically larger than an AirTag—comparable in size to a pair of AA batteries—specifically to accommodate its specialized safety hardware.
Key features include:
Pebblebee has officially expanded its hardware lineup with the launch of the Halo , a new location tracker that prioritizes personal safety.
- 130-Decibel Siren: A significant upgrade over the 97-decibel siren found on the Pebblebee Clip, designed to deter attackers or signal for help.
- 150-Lumen Strobe: A bright, flashing light intended to attract attention in emergency situations.
- Integrated Flashlight: The device can be used as a standard keychain flashlight, powered by a rechargeable battery that lasts up to a year on a single charge.
Emergency Response and Connectivity
The Halo operates using a pull-apart mechanism that triggers the alarm instantly. For users who require assistance without drawing attention to themselves, Pebblebee has included a silent trigger option. This activates the device's digital safety protocols without the loud siren or strobe.
The tracker is compatible with either Apple’s Find My network or Google’s Find Hub, though users must choose one ecosystem during setup.
Software Integration: Safety Circle and Alert Live
Pebblebee offers two tiers of digital emergency services with the hardware:
- Safety Circle (Free): Sends a pre-selected trusted contact an SMS message with a secure link to the user's location at the moment the alert was triggered.
- Alert Live (Subscription): Shares a continuous live location feed with up to five trusted contacts. The Halo includes a complimentary 12-month subscription to this service, which costs $24.99 per year thereafter.
While the Halo is bulkier than traditional trackers, the trade-off provides a dual-purpose tool for those looking to secure both their keys and their personal wellbeing.
