They have a lite version, so this appears to be an unannounced promotional
deal. It has been $0.99 for over a year. What is it? It's like hashapass,
which basically generates a password by using a master password and let's
say a website you go to. So this way you can have a unique password to each
site without having to remember what it is.
The difference between this and hashapass is that you have control of length
and characters used.
Description:
Mnemosyne is a really secure password manager: Passwords are never stored to
disk, they are (re)created based on a secret pass phrase that you memorize
and the given user name. If you remember the pass phrase you can recreate
any password for any user name you have created somewhere along the way.
Mnemosyne is also available for free for OS X and Windows. Check it out:

Example of usage:
A sys admin has to manage the user accounts on several Mac's in his company.
He is required to use strong passwords but he is not allowed to store the
passwords to disk or to write them down. This is where Mnemosyne comes in
handy.
The admin chooses a pass phrase that he will always memorize (for example "
my iphone rocks"). With a length set to 8 and a strength set to "0-9,a-Z"
the generated password for the user "sue" is "ueUQggIc". Using the same
settings (and the same pass phrase!) the password for the user "john" is "
OOgIug2q". You can try it for yourself: enter "my iphone rocks" into the "
Pass Phrase" field, "sue" into the "User" field and set length to 8 and the
strength to "0-9,a-Z". You should get "ueUQggIc" as the password.
Whenever the admin needs to login into Sue's or John's account, he will
enter his secret pass phrase "my iphone rocks", the user name ("sue" or "
john") and the "Length" and "Strength" values "8" and "0-9,a-Z" into
Mnemosyne to reconstruct the password.
So all you have to do is to choose a cool pass phrase. And of course make
sure not to share the pass phrase to anyone!
