Subscribe to our newsletter Pebblebee has launched its new halo safety tracker As well as tracking, it doubles as a siren and flashing strobe light to draw attention When you purchase one, you get a free 12-month subscription to Alert Live The personal safety device company Pebblebee has launched what its described as the most important thing (we've) ever made the new Halo tracker.

As of today (April 7), the Halo safety tracker is available to purchase from Pebblebees online store and select retailers, ushering in a new era of
devices for the brand. Halo is priced at $59.99/ 55.28/ AU$87.88, which is pricier than Apple s flagship AirTag , but has more functionality. Firstly, Halo is built on that what if something goes wrong feeling you have when
youre in a risky situation by yourself, be that walking home late at night or travelling through an unfamiliar destination which can be registered on
Apples Find My app or Google s Find Hub meaning its suitable for both iOS
and Android users. Article continues below You may like The new AirTag 2 is way more findable and louder than the original The new AirTag has a louder voice and better range which could change the game Amazfit's affordable, 5-star Apple Watch rival just got a surprise sequel

On top of this, Halo doesnt require you to open an app or enter a passcode. Instead, its small enough to clip onto a keychain at 2.7 inches and 1 ounce
in weight, meaning its within your reach for when you need to activate it this is where its features shine. (Image credit: Pebblebee) At its core, Halo is a simple device with three distinct functions. When you activate it by using its pull-apart mechanism, Halo will signal a 130dB siren to attract attention from passersby in the area, emit a flashing strobe of light (which doubles as a 150-lumen flashlight), and will share your real-time location with up to five trusted contacts called your Safety Circle.

Theres also an added level of discretion. If you need to alert your Safety Circle but dont want to draw attention to those around you, rapid presses of the button on the side of the device sends a silent alert when activated, without triggering the spectacle of the siren and flashing strobes. As for battery life, it can run up to a year before it needs its next lot of juice.

We built Halo with specific people in mind the college student navigating a campus at 11pm, the early-morning runner who goes before the neighborhood wakes up, the traveler dropped into an unfamiliar city, the parent who wants their teenager to have something more capable, the company reveals. But the more we tested it, the clearer it became: this is for anyone who has ever had that 'something is happening' thought.

Each Halo safety device comes with a free 12-month subscription to Pebblebees Alert Live plan, which is required for live location sharing and the option
to add more than five contacts to your Safety Circle. While its not a huge difference to Halos subscription-free features offer, the added benefits certainly add an extra layer of reassurance.
