It&#x2019;s a smart, battery-free solution designed for peace of mind and effortless recovery.<img src="https://attachments.gorgias.help/qgaXzxaLzj7vDWOp/hc/PG09N6gdDeZ24j5g/2025090521-581f7fe6-8b3b-43db-8e44-e26be907dad3-2.png" style="width: 300px;" class="fr-fic fr-dib"> <h3 id="what-is-pebblebee-link">What Is Pebblebee Link?</h3>Pebblebee Link uses QR codes to help recover lost items. When someone finds your item and scans the code, they&#x2019;re directed to a secure Pebblebee webpage where they can notify you &#x2014; without ever seeing your personal information. <h3 id="how-do-i-set-up-a-new-link-label">How Do I Set Up a New Link Label?</h3><ol start="1"><li>Open the Pebblebee App (available for iOS and Android).</li><li>Tap the + (plus) icon.</li><li>Select Claim Label.</li><li>Scan the QR code on your Link Label.</li><li>Follow the prompts to complete setup.</li><li>Attach your Link Label to any item you want to protect and make easier to recover.</li></ol> <h3 id="how-does-pebblebee-link-differ-from-active-trackers">How Does Pebblebee Link Differ from Active Trackers?</h3>Pebblebee Link uses reactive tracking, not Bluetooth or GPS. It has no battery or electronics &#x2014; instead, it relies on others scanning the QR code to help return lost items.Reactive tracking is perfect for items that don&#x2019;t require constant monitoring but still need a way to be found securely. In contrast, Pebblebee&#x2019;s active trackers (like Clip, Card, and Tag) are battery-powered and use Bluetooth through Apple Find My&#x2122; or Google&#x2019;s Find Hub&#x2122; networks for live tracking. <h3 id="what-types-of-items-can-i-use-pebblebee-link-labels-on">What Types of Items Can I Use Pebblebee Link Labels On?</h3>You can attach Link Labels to nearly anything, such as:<ul><li>Water bottles</li><li>Wallets and keys</li><li>Electronics or headsets</li><li>Lunch boxes</li><li>Pet collars</li><li>Luggage or travel gear</li></ul><h3 id> </h3><h3 id="is-pebblebee-link-compatible-with-ios-and-android-smartphones">Is Pebblebee Link Compatible with iOS and Android Smartphones?</h3>Yes. Pebblebee Link works seamlessly on both iOS and Android, allowing setup and recovery from any compatible smartphone. <h3 id="what-happens-when-someone-scans-the-qr-code">What Happens When Someone Scans the QR Code?</h3>When the QR code is scanned, the finder is directed to pebblebee.link/locator, where they see a message: &#x201C;You&#x2019;ve Found Someone&#x2019;s Item!&#x201D;They can then:<ul><li>Notify the Owner: Send an anonymous alert so the owner knows their item was found. Optionally, share a location to help recovery.</li><li>Get in Touch: Send a secure, private message to the owner through Pebblebee&#x2019;s system.</li></ul>All communication is anonymous &#x2014; neither party&#x2019;s personal details are ever shared. <h3 id="how-does-pebblebee-keep-my-information-private">How Does Pebblebee Keep My Information Private?</h3>Pebblebee acts as a secure intermediary.

This ensures Pebblebee can securely match the found item with its rightful owner. <h3 id="how-will-i-know-if-someone-scanned-my-link-label">How Will I Know If Someone Scanned My Link Label?</h3>You&#x2019;ll receive a notification through the Pebblebee App whenever someone scans your label. <h3 id="what-if-the-finder-doesnt-have-a-smartphone">What If the Finder Doesn&#x2019;t Have a Smartphone?</h3>As long as the finder has a camera and Internet access (on any smart device, tablet, or compatible reader), they can scan the QR code to begin the recovery process. <h3 id="what-should-i-do-if-my-link-label-becomes-damaged-or-unreadable">What Should I Do If My Link Label Becomes Damaged or Unreadable?</h3>Pebblebee Link Labels are built for durability, but if the QR code becomes damaged and cannot be scanned:<ul><li>Contact Pebblebee Support for assistance.</li><li>Our team can help transfer your item&#x2019;s details to a new label.</li></ul><blockquote>Since our early versions, we&#x2019;ve improved the design with added protection for long-term readability.</blockquote> <h3 id="can-i-use-pebblebee-link-anywhere-in-the-world">Can I Use Pebblebee Link Anywhere in the World?</h3>Yes.

Link Labels work well on pet collars.
