Gentle, not pushy
A reminder you can live with is one you can ignore this week without paying for it next week.
What this actually looks like
Nagging stops working
The tenth notification about the same person gets swiped away, and then all of them do.

A streak about to break turns a friend into a chore.
What Ciao! does about it
One note a week
Not one per friend. One, with everyone who is due, on the day you choose.
No streaks, no red numbers
Nothing counts up against you. The creature gets sleepy, and wakes up when you talk.
Start with three
The free version is three friends on purpose. Add people as you get used to it.
