What do you think about converting this project to Go? The primary benefit would be that users get a single binary for any platform. Python is great, but not very user friendly for non-developers.

Plus Go is cool!

In particular I can think of the following:

• Significant relationships (e.g. names of spouses, children and pets)
• Gift ideas
• Likes, dislikes, allergies
• A picture
• Contact information
• Short biography
• Summary of the latest conversation

Basically what I am aiming at is approximate what Monica does. What I do not like about Monica is that it's PHP and requires a webserver, database etc. and I'm locking myself in to their format. A much more lightweight tool giving the essential features would suit my needs.

All this could be included in MarkDown files (#2) with a specific structure.

Instead of storing the friends and other data in a binary format (pickle) consider creating a single MarkDown file per friend. It would then be possible to continue using the "database" even if this project goes out of fashion plus you can use any text processing tool to make large changes.
