That depends on the current round of testing. There's a couple of bugs that I'm aware of atm that need to be ironed out. Hoping for mid to late July?

I actually went through several names. When initially conceptualizing Hyphen, I had my inspiration heavily in mind (Stanza!), and following a similar naming pattern I wanted something having to do with books/literature/grammar.
I started out with the name 'Satchel', but it was taken and kind of conflicted with too many other apps. I then was going to go with 'Otus' for awhile (a genus which owls belong too - my logic being 'hey! books are associated with books, right?' Glad I didn't go with that one). I pivoted a bit and looked at maybe using punctuation as a name, like Interrobang (which was taken). I finally settled on Hyphen - it was unused, didn't conflict with very many other apps, and 'felt' right.
So that's the story!
