Have they fixed testing with Swift yet? I am normally a pretty test driven person, but honestly, Apple makes it pretty annoying to use tests with Swift, so I don't blame you for your lonely scaffold.
I'd say overall it looks pretty well written app code, especially if you say you're a beginner. One thing I'd like to point out is that in my (limited Swift) experience, stuff like this:

Sometimes it's unavoidable because of the weirdness between Cocoa and Swift, so typically your interface builder outlets will be riddled with that stuff, but for your own internal APIs, try and keep things as option-less as possible.
UI code is pretty challenging to keep organized, especially when platforms enc

I'd recommend checking out Gary Bernhardt's talk "Boundaries" and Andy Matuschak's similar writings (sorry, can't think of anything off the top of my head), as they have some good ideas for demarcating the line between functional parts of your code that should be super clean and the anything goes world of external UI APIs.
Good luck and keep coding!
