Pebblebee has officially launched its next-generation tracking devices, the Clip 5 and Card 5, offering significant upgrades in design, functionality, and user convenience. These new trackers maintain compatibility with major location networks while introducing features that enhance both everyday usability and personal safety.
The Clip 5 retains its familiar form factor with a built-in loop for easy attachment to keys, bags, or zippers. Notable improvements include a louder buzzer and brighter LEDs, which double as a personal panic alarm when the button is pressed rapidly. This action not only activates the light and sound alerts but also sends an immediate notification, complete with a location link, to a designated emergency contact. While the basic Alert feature is free, users can opt for the Alert Live subscription to share real-time location updates with multiple contacts during emergencies.
Battery life remains strong, with the Clip 5 lasting up to twelve months on a single charge via USB-C. Aesthetically, Pebblebee is introducing a fresh approach with its Evercolor initiative. At launch, the tracker comes in graphite, emerald storm, and amethyst purple. Every twelve weeks, two new limited-edition shades will be released while older colors are retired, giving users regular new options.
Meanwhile, the Card 5 has undergone a dramatic slimming down, now 30 percent thinner than its predecessor. At just 1.8mm thick, it ranks among the slimmest card trackers available, designed to slip discreetly into any wallet, passport holder, or billfold. A major convenience upgrade is its shift to wireless charging, eliminating the need for proprietary cables. Users can recharge the Card 5 using the same wireless pads they already own for smartphones or earbuds. Impressively, it delivers up to eighteen months of battery life on a single charge.
Both the Clip 5 and Card 5 are priced at $34.99 and work with either Apple’s Find My network or Google’s Find Hub. Buyers must choose one network during setup, as simultaneous compatibility is not supported. While the Clip 5 will rotate through new color editions, the Card 5 is offered only in a single gray and black finish, reflecting its discreet, hidden-use design.
