As an iPhone user I would like a Light version of this with notifications;

It’s Rogers 27th birthday in 2 weeks- send a card Send a nice update email to Sarah. You haven’t chatted in 4 months Billy has a lot of news of Facebook - you should connect

That would prod me to be a better friend when my focus keeps me glued to family and work.

Thanks for sharing some thoughts! The reason I chose not to incorporate things like birthdays is this is already well handled by the built-in Calendar and Contacts apps—though I’m uncertain how this is handled on iOS. As for Facebook, as a first stab I went with native text messages because the functionality is built into the device and the app can easily access the messaging history on the device to make better decisions. I have begun to review support for WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger and friends, but it appears there might be some challenges to doing this properly due to the lack of data made available from these providers for developers.
