We secure your digital life and leave clear, encrypted instructions — so the people you love can grieve without a paperwork storm. We hold the map, never the keys.
Who NYLK helps
Make sure loved ones can reach what matters — photos, messages, accounts — without stress.
One Digital Directive for your entire footprint. Set it once, keep it current with check-ins.
Document your domains, email, payroll and client databases so your business survives you.
Wallets, exchanges and seed-phrase locations documented — without the keys ever leaving you.
Your channels, revenue streams and IP — secure, recoverable, and passed to the right hands.
Why it matters
In 2025, Australian digital-asset users were projected to exceed 11.48 million, and the inclusion of cryptocurrency in wills doubled in 2024. Without a plan, executors face outdated laws, restrictive terms of service and impenetrable security. NYLK turns that mess into a clear, actionable roadmap.
Crypto, banking & investment accounts, monetised sites.
Email, social profiles, photos, videos, message histories.
Streaming, gaming, loyalty points and cloud storage.
Domains, customer databases, professional channels, stores.
What's inside
Your Digital Directive captures your whole online life — not just passwords, but what each thing is, where it lives, and what should happen to it. NYLK holds the map; you keep the keys.
How it works
Add accounts, files and instructions — protected by encryption at rest and in transit. We hold the map, not the keys.
Choose your executor and legacy contacts, and decide what to store — usually just your phone PIN.
NYLK generates your Directive. You digitally sign it and receive a one-page certificate for your will.
On a verified death certificate, your executor is confirmed and supported, step by step.

A real Directive

Our origin story
After losing both his father and his sister, founder Zack van Zyl was left piecing together their digital lives — recovering cherished photos, accessing critical accounts and safeguarding assets of real value — all while planning funerals and grieving. A decade in digital forensics meant he could just barely manage it. Most people can't. That's why NYLK exists: so the people you love aren't left figuring it out in their darkest moments.
Your Legacy. Poured Forward.
