Pebblebee’s newest Android tracker Find Hub does more than find your wallet, the Halo can double as a surprisingly bright flashlight, but more importantly, a security alarm.
Pebblebee is best known for its AirTag competitors with tracking devices. It was one of the first brands to embrace Google’s Find Hub network for Android and currently makes some of the best options you can buy.
The new Pebblebee Halo launches a new “Safe Harbor” effort aimed at improving personal safety. So the Halo is, according to Pebblebee, “a dedicated security device,” but it serves multiple functions.
As mentioned, it works with Android’s Find Hub network and is also compatible with Apple’s Find My. So either way, you can use it to track objects like bags. It charges via USB-C and comes with a carabiner clip. Size-wise, it’s a bit larger than the Clip 5 or AirTag, but for good reason.
Another purpose it serves is to act as a flashlight. An LED in the design is a surprisingly bright flashlight that sits in a compact form factor. At the click of a button, it pops up with a slight delay before fully activating so you don’t blind yourself by looking at it – ask me how I found it.
The security aspect comes next.
The Pebblebee Halo attaches to a carabiner with a magnetic top half. When you remove the base of the product from that “cap,” it immediately starts a loud siren and uses that flashlight as a traffic light. In other words, it’s a quick and accessible deterrent to those with malicious intent nearby. The siren reaches 130dB while the strobe light is 150 lumens.
When the siren is activated, Halo also talks to the Pebblebee app on your phone and can send our live location to trusted contacts. There’s also a silent alarm option if you don’t want the loud siren to go off, the Pebblebee app explains. You do need To set this up, you can’t connect your Halo to the Find Hub before connecting it to the Pebblebee app.
Pebblebee explains:
Entering a new page with Pebblebee Safe Havena dedicated personal security pillar that extends the company’s mission beyond finding things to protect people as well as things. The first Safe Haven product, Hellois a dedicated security device designed for moments when speed, visibility and connectivity matter most, combining a physical emergency trigger, Alarm siren and strobe capabilities, live location sharing with trusted contacts, indoor item finding via Apple My Find or Google’s Find Hub, and a daily carry flashlight in one rechargeable key fob device. Together, Halo and the broader Safe Haven platform reflect Pebblebee’s growing focus on practical, confidence-building tools designed for real life.
Pebblebee’s focus on personal security first appeared last year with an update to the company’s Clip tracker, but the Halo is the first device with hardware specifically designed for the feature.
After trying it out in person, I have to say I’m pretty impressed with the hardware. The functionality here is intuitive and the design is well done. The magnet is strong enough to (easily) prevent you from accidentally triggering the siren, but not so strong that you can’t activate it in a panic. The security siren and flashlight work even if you don’t connect it. Five consecutive presses will activate the silent alarm.
The siren is very loud – please do not wear headphones for the video below.
When it comes to pricing, the Pebblebee Halo itself is a pretty easy buy at $59.99.
It’s a lot more expensive than a regular item tracker, but it’s worth the extra cost for everything you get. It also includes Pebblebee’s Alert Live service, which costs $24.99 a year after the first 12 months, but it’s completely optional. The free tier of service still triggers sirens and can still send your location to a contact, but the paid version can send your location to up to five other people with live updates.
