Bretzen sounds like a codename but not make reference to what it does or what is for. Since users or newcomers point of view Bretzn has no hook to take their attention at least by itself. So it needs some feature-functionality name associated to expose it. And at the beginning we have to make reference to both names because Bretzn is already known too in some knowledge circles. So to expand or reach beyond these insider people circles need something like "Bretzn-AppsCab" or maybe shorten. I was playing with "Bretzn-AppsIns" , "Bretzn-Apps" , or like tradename "iBretzn" or "instaBretzn" Still playing with the concepts.
