Looking for AirTag alternatives? Pebblebee’s Card, Clip and Tag work on iPhone and Android and will soon support Google’s Find My network globally.
Pebblebee has offered its Clip, Card and Tag accessories since September. They’re currently the only item locators worldwide that work with Apple’s Find My network while offering cross-platform compatibility via the Pebblebee app for iOS and Android and upgradable firmware for future-proofing.
Android versions of Clip, Card and Tag that work with Google’s Find My Device network will drop on May 27. If you’re interested, here’s an overview.
Meet your Pebblebee Card, Clip and Tag trackers
These trackers outsmart Apple’s AirTag in ways more than one. First, they’re rechargeable. Second, they’re equipped with LED lights and a loud buzzer, so your lost or misplaced items have a higher chance of being found. And third, they offer extended range via Bluetooth and GPS crowdsourcing.
Pebblebee Clip (Gen 2)
The new Clip is a smaller, lighter version of the original, perfect for keys, wallets, backpacks, luggage, etc. Plus, Gen 2 has a 2x longer battery life at 12 months.
Plus, the battery is rechargeable and a USB-C charge cable is included in the box. It uses Bluetooth tracking within 500 feet and crowd GPS beyond that.
Pebblebee Card (Gen 2)
Thin and lightweight (0.12” x 3.35” x 0.11” or 54mm x 85mm x 2.8mm, weighing 0.5 ounces or 15 grams), the new Card is designed for narrow spaces like wallets.
The battery lasts 18 months on a single charge, and there’s a magnetic USB-C charge cable in the box. The card is IPX6 water resistant and works up to 500 feet over Bluetooth, with crowd GPS activating when out of range.
Pebblebee Tag
This tracker uses Bluetooth within 300 feet. When out of range, crowd GPS activates. It’s IPX6 water resistant and includes a tiny USB-C charger to recharge the internal 8-month battery via magnetic connection.
The Tag weighs just 0.23 ounces (6.5 grams) and is one of the smallest trackers on the market. You can attach it to personal items, bags and clothing via the included silicone strap, collar attachment and double-sided adhesive tab.

Compatible with Apple/Google Find My networks
Apple and Google use Bluetooth on billions of devices to discover nearby trackers and report their location to the Find My network. The Clip, Tag and Card work with unwanted tracking notifications across iOS and Android.
On iPhone, these alerts required iOS 17.5. In the Google world, you need Android 15. Should someone hide a Pebble in a stealthy place in your car or plant it in your bag, the Find My network will figure this out and alert you of unwanted tracking.
