Detect. Locate. Protect.

Your invisible shield, on your keys.

Ember Locate devices scan for hidden Bluetooth trackers and, at a single press, send your trusted contacts an automated alert with your live GPS coordinates and What3Words address — plus a clear instruction to contact law enforcement.

The quiet problem

Safety tools shouldn't announce themselves.

Most personal safety gadgets are loud, obvious, and left in a drawer. Meanwhile, £20 trackers make it trivially easy to follow someone without their knowledge.

Ember Locate takes the opposite approach: something beautiful you'd carry anyway, that quietly checks for hidden trackers and — if you ever need it — gets precise location information into the right hands in seconds.

How Ember Locate works

Four steps from unboxing to genuine peace of mind.

  1. Step 1

    Set up in four minutes

    Pair your device in the Ember app, add up to eight trusted contacts, and personalise your alert wording.

  2. Step 2

    It scans quietly

    Your device watches for Bluetooth trackers moving with you — AirTags, SmartTags, Tiles — and notifies only you.

  3. Step 3

    One press when it matters

    A single or double press triggers the alert. No screen, no unlocking, no announcement to the room.

  4. Step 4

    Contacts get everything they need

    An automated message states you are in danger, includes live GPS coordinates and your What3Words address, and instructs contacts to call law enforcement with those exact details.

Carried every day, by thousands

I travel alone for work most weeks. Knowing my sister gets my exact coordinates and a What3Words address if I press once has genuinely changed how I move through airports at 2am.

The scan caught an AirTag in my coat pocket after a night out. No drama, no alarm — just a quiet notification and a very clear next step.

We bought a Pulse when our daughter started university. It doesn't look like a safety device, which is exactly why she actually carries it.

Feature deep-dive

Two systems, working quietly together.

A local tracker scanner that never phones home, and an emergency locator that only speaks when you tell it to.

Hidden tracker detection

Continuous BLE scanning with on-device filtering for known tracker signatures.

GPS + What3Words

Every alert carries both a precise coordinate pair and a 3-metre-square word address.

Privacy by architecture

Scanning happens locally. Location is only ever shared when you trigger an alert.

Up to 30 days of standby

Charge it monthly, not nightly. Low-battery reminders arrive well ahead of time.

Water resistant

Rated IP66–IP67 depending on model. Rain, spills and the odd dropped bag.

Discreet by design

Looks like an everyday keyring. Never like a panic button.

Peace of mind, in your pocket by Friday.
