> Why but just run a bouncer
> like znc
Same reason I stopped running my own mailserver and mutt; there are a limited number of things I have bandwidth for, and I'd much rather pay a tiny amount of money for someone else to Just Do It, and do it right. Also mobile.It's quite a bit easier to run a bouncer than a mailserver! With mail, you have to worry about handling spam, and whether your messages are delivered or blocked, and all the setups are really involved.
With Weechat, as long as you manage to add a server from the UI and then `/relay add ssl.irc 8000`, you typically just need a script that runs `tmux new-session -d weechat` on startup. And it has mobile clients.
https://riot.im/ has an IRC bridge! It works quite nicely.

I like ircloud https://www.irccloud.com/, it's not free but takes care of a lot of that and nice to access anywhere.
Is it push notifications as in notifications pushed to your android/ios device? If so, how did you set it up?
I run znc + znc-push [1] + pushover [2] for push notifications on Android. Works like a charm.

I run a persistent irssi session accessible via SSH on a RPi at home, and I use this awesome irssi script + Android app to get push notifications for PMs/mentions: https://irssinotifier.appspot.com/
I do the same with an rpi/docker container. There is a pushbullet script too if you're interested.

You can get push notifications with server side irssi in tmux/screen and IrssiNotifier on Android.
No mobile clients that adaquately supports server-time / playback. I use znc+rcirx w/ some hacks to support server-time, but I still use irccloud on my phone.
I can get push notifications to my phone with a ZNC module so that's not really the hold up.

Mutter is great and free. https://www.mutterirc.com/
Can I also use a desktop client on my Mac and have private messages etc. synced properly to both Mutter and some-desktop-client-x ?
I remember having problems with this in the past using ZNC and separate mobile/laptop clients.
palaver (iOS) and ZNC do the server-time playback quite nicely as long as you use up to date versions. (and also push notifications)
ircv3 specification is shaping up to have even better capabilities there too.
I use Android
I hear good things about wee-droid (or something, it's an app that connect to a weechat in relay mode)
I even have push notifications when I get tagged or a add a special keyword.
