Most keychain trackers look identical, and most of them stay buried in a bag. The pebblebee clip 5 tracker now comes in Cranberry and Champagne finishes, each priced at $34.99. The hardware underneath is unchanged, so the choice is mainly about what you see every day.
Several specifications in this article come from Pebblebee’s own press release and product page. Independent testing details are noted where they apply.
Pebblebee clip 5 tracker design and size
The pebblebee clip 5 tracker has a rounded body with a flat lower edge and a built-in attachment loop. That loop gives it a teardrop outline rather than a circle. A beveled border frames the broad face, and narrow LED strips wrap around the sides.
The product page lists the dimensions at 1.77 inches long, 1.49 inches wide. A keyring carabiner comes in the box.
Cranberry is a deep red that stands out on a dark key fob. Champagne is softer and creamier. Owners who clip a key tracker into shared bowls could assign one color to a household set and the other to a spare, or match the tag to a favorite bag.
One color detail needs care. Pebblebee’s press release, however, names Emerald Storm and Amethyst Purple as the first Evercolor colors. Check the color you want against the product page at the time of purchase.
Compatibility and setup
The pebblebee clip 5 tracker works with Apple Find My on iPhone or Google’s Find Hub on Android. It uses one network at a time. During setup, you choose which network the tag will use.
The Verge notes that switching networks requires a reset. It also requires cell service or an internet connection.
If your keys already rely on wireless signals, ULTRALOQ Bolt Mission UWB home access shows how the same kind of signal can unlock daily routines.
Sound and light help you locate a tag that sits close by. The Clip 5 has a louder buzzer and brighter LEDs than its predecessor, according to Pebblebee’s press release. Enable Phone Finder in the Pebblebee app, and a double press of the tag’s button makes your phone ring.
The tag charges over USB-C. The product page rates battery life at up to 12 months on a single charge. No charging cable is included, so keep one on hand before the battery runs low.
Alert and safety features
Rapid presses of the same button activate Alert. The tag sounds a siren and flashes its strobe. The free tier sends a one-time location message to one trusted contact through the Pebblebee app. Alert is free on the Clip.
Pack a spare USB-C charger for the tag: TESSAN’s 3-in-1 USB-C charger for travel covers Apple devices on the go.
Alert requires a connected phone with cell service or internet access. Pebblebee also sells Alert Live for $2.99 per month or $24.99 per year. The company’s materials list pricing for Alert Live but do not describe its sharing features in detail.
Pebblebee’s help center describes a separate disable mode. You press the button twice, then press a third time and hold for about 10 seconds. Two beeps confirm the change. Disabling the tag does not remove it from Find My, Find Hub, or the Pebblebee app, so a transfer still requires a factory reset.
Limited colors and pricing
Pebblebee calls the color program Evercolor. Every 12 weeks, the company drops two limited-edition Clip 5 colors and retires the previous pair. The pebblebee clip 5 tracker also keeps a standard graphite finish.
The pebblebee clip 5 tracker and Card 5 each cost $34.99 at pebblebee.com, Amazon, and select retailers. Global availability began November 6, 2025. The company’s press release says the Evercolor finishes will not return once their run ends.
The color choice is a small decision, but it is the only visible difference between the two versions. The tracking hardware, battery, and safety features are the same. Choose the finish that fits your keys, and expect the rest of the tag to work as before.
