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.

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.
