Part 01 · Overview
Welcome
What it is, who it suits, its grades and the ten things to know first
2.4
GPA, above 27 of the 123 other to-do list apps we grade
Swift To-Do List is a Windows desktop program from Dextronet for managing tasks and notes. To-do lists, memos and spreadsheets are arranged in a hierarchical tree, with subtasks, reminders, recurring tasks, a scheduling calendar and time tracking. The database is a local file and the program works offline; an optional Secure Sync service adds cloud backup, sharing, a companion web app and mobile apps for iOS and Android.
To get you started, here are 9 things to know about Swift To-Do List, taken from its own pages and our grades.
The web and phone apps only appear once you've set up Secure Sync, so getting your list onto a phone is a job in itself.
- 1
Best for tasks and notes in one tree on a Windows PC
Swift To-Do List is a Windows desktop organizer with a tree of lists, memos and spreadsheets, plus subtasks, reminders, a calendar and a timer, all in a file on your PC.
- 2
Paid plans start at $8.25 a month when paid by the year for each person
As its pricing page puts it: $99 for a single-user license with 1 year of updates and online features.
- 3
You can try it first
Fully functional 30-day free trial; the download asks for a first name and email address
- 4
It runs on 4 platforms
Windows, Web, iOS and Android.
- 5
To-do list tree and subtasks
To-do lists, memos and spreadsheets sit in a hierarchical tree with icons, and tasks break down into subtasks. Lists and tasks are moved or copied by drag and drop.
- 6
Task fields, filters and Hide Until
24 optional columns cover priority, type, dates, context, assignee, time estimate and status. Filter presets switch by shortcut, and a Hide Until date keeps a task out of view until then.
- 7
Reminders and recurring tasks
Reminders can be snoozed or sent by email. Recurrence handles patterns such as the last Friday of every month or a set number of days after completion.
- 8
A 2.4 GPA, above 27 of 123
That is against the other to-do list apps we grade, on value, the free plan, features, ease of use and platforms.
- 9
Keep it
To replace Swift To-Do List you would be making a spreadsheet engine with its formulas. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.

The report card
Best for tasks and notes in one tree on a Windows PC
Swift To-Do List is a Windows desktop organizer with a tree of lists, memos and spreadsheets, plus subtasks, reminders, a calendar and a timer, all in a file on your PC. But it's $99 for one person, sync and the web and phone apps last a year before a renewal whose price isn't shown, there's no Mac program, and the newest release on the site dates from March 2024.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | D | $99 for one person, and it auto-renews every year with no renewal price on the buy page. Against a category whose middle paid plan is $3.99 a month, that's roughly double what a year costs here, and team plans start at $495 for up to 5 people. |
| Free plan and trial | C | No free plan. You get a fully functional 30-day trial, and the download asks for a first name and email address, not a card. A month is plenty to decide. After that it's $99 or nothing. |
| Features | B | A tree of to-do lists, memos and spreadsheets, 24 optional columns, filters, a Hide Until date, and repeats like the last Friday of every month. A calendar with day, week, month and timeline views, a floating timer, and emails dragged in from Outlook turn into tasks. It covers the job. |
| Ease of use | C | No rating on record to go by, and there's a lot of program here: 24 optional columns to pick from for a start. The web and phone apps only appear once you've set up Secure Sync, so getting your list onto a phone is a job in itself. |
| Platforms and integrations | A | Windows on the desktop, a web app, and iOS and Android apps, with email dragged in from Outlook, Thunderbird and Lotus Notes. One asterisk: only the Windows program stands alone. Web and mobile are companions that work through Secure Sync. |
An A is worth 4 points, a B 3, a C 2, a D 1 and an F nothing. The GPA is the average of the five.
Who Swift To-Do List is for
- Fits if you work on a Windows PC and want tasks and notes together in one tree
- Works for people whose tasks start as emails, dragged in from Outlook or Thunderbird
Who it is not for
- Skip it if you're on a Mac, because the desktop program is Windows only and the web and phone apps need Secure Sync
- Pricey if you just need a simple list, at $99 for one person, and team plans start at $495 for up to 5
- Not for you if you want to know next year's bill, as the buy page doesn't show the renewal price
- Watch out: there's no free plan, so after the 30-day trial it's $99 or nothing
- Watch out: the newest release on the site is version 11.5, dated March 11, 2024
Good to know
Good for
- Windows users who want a desktop organizer for both tasks and notes
- People who turn a lot of email into tasks
- Users who want their database on their own PC, with sync optional
Worth knowing
- The desktop program is Windows only. The web app and the iOS and Android apps are companions that work through Secure Sync.
- Sync, the web and mobile apps and updates are included for 1 year and then need a renewal; the buy page does not show the renewal price.
- There is no free plan: after the 30-day trial a license is $99 for one person, and team plans start at $495 for up to 5 people.
- The current release shown on the site is version 11.5, dated March 11, 2024.

Keep it, or make your own?
Whether this is something you could build for yourself with an AI app builder, and what you would give up.
Keep it
To replace Swift To-Do List you would be making a spreadsheet engine with its formulas. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.
That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 76 of the 123 other to-do list apps grade higher. It costs $99 a year.
What you could make
- Tasks, notes, calendar and time tracking: an app builder makes these well.
What you could not
- A spreadsheet engine with its formulas.
- Apps for Windows, iOS and Android that stay in step with each other.
- It is priced for each person, which means accounts and billing for a team.
- It plugs into other products, Microsoft Outlook, Mozilla Thunderbird and Lotus Notes among them.
- The depth: we grade its features B, which means it covers the whole job.
What this rests on. Swift To-Do List’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
