Activating the emergency mode also sets off a loud siren and causes the Pebblebee Clip’s LED strip to start flashing, potentially deterring a perpetrator and alerting anyone nearby to a dicey situation. The siren and LED can be disabled by repeatedly pressing the button again. If the alarm is accidentally triggered and then quickly disabled, emergency contacts will receive a second message informing them of the alarm cancellation.

Price and availability

The Pebblebee Meet Alert is free to use and doesn’t require a subscription. The Pebblebee Clip is available for $34.49 on the official online shop. Despite being slightly pricier than an Apple AirTag (approx. $23 on Amazon), the Clip offers a rechargeable battery that lasts up to twelve months, and supports both Apple’s Find My network and Google’s Find Hub.
