Think of <\/span>Bluetooth trackers<\/a> and safety in the past few years and your first thought might be the misuse of Apple AirTags<\/a> and similar devices against women in domestic abuse and stalking cases.<\/p>\n

Alongside collaborative initiatives to counter and shut down these malicious uses (such as the IETF\u2019s Detection of Unwanted Location Trackers<\/a>, or DULT, standard), tracker makers themselves are flipping the script, turning tech that has been used to monitor women against their will into tech that protects them.<\/p>\n

In mid-July, Seattle-based Pebblebee<\/a> announced a new, free SOS safety feature, named Alert<\/a>, for its $35 Clip Bluetooth tracker which, like the rest of its Universal line-up, can be set up with either Apple\u2019s Find My or Google\u2019s Find Hub networks, is made from around 30 percent recycled plastic and runs on a rechargeable battery, with 12+ months between USB-C charges.<\/p>\n

When multi-pressed (six-plus presses), the Clip can trigger a siren alarm, flashing LED lights and automatically send an SMS text notification to one \u201cSafety Circle\u201d contact that you\u2019ve pre-saved in the Pebblebee app.<\/p>\n
