Everything you need to write about PKTD — the privacy-first receipt scanner built in Edmonton for Canadian taxes. Grab the boilerplate, facts, and brand assets below.

The one-liner

PKTD is a privacy-first receipt scanner built for Canadian taxes — on-device OCR reads receipt text on your iPhone, optional cloud AI can suggest GST/HST and other fields with your consent, and the app keeps business-mileage records and produces PDF and CSV exports.

Boilerplate

PKTD is an AI receipt scanner and expense tracker for iPhone, made by Lumin Marketing Group, a small team in Edmonton, Alberta. It is built specifically for Canadian freelancers, sole proprietors, gig workers, and small businesses — the people who dread tax season and have historically been served only by corporate-grade tools. PKTD processes receipt images and runs OCR on-device to read receipt text. With your consent, optional AI sends redacted receipt text for cloud processing and can suggest GST/HST, PST, QST, and other receipt fields for review. The app also keeps trip details and business-mileage records and produces PDF and CSV exports. Privacy is the design constraint, not a feature: there is no sign-up. Receipt images are processed on-device and are not sent to PKTD or OpenAI for AI parsing. Optional iCloud sync and user-directed exports or sharing can move data off-device.

The story

PKTD started with a problem our four-person Edmonton team had ourselves: carrying, sorting, and tracking receipts had begun to feel like a job of its own. We wanted saving a receipt to feel as easy as taking a photo, while keeping Canadian records and user control at the centre of the product. Read the full PKTD story and meet the core team.
