I want to be done with discord. The only value i find is the notifications when you have an @reply. Isn't there someone that has done this for freenode or other IRC ?
https://www.irccloud.com/ does what you want (they have an app). If you use IRC heavily, I do recommend paying for it - it's useful and they fund IRCv3 among other things.
I used to use a bouncer, vnc, which there's a plugin for push notifications. Now I use matrix.org, which bridges to freenode and many (all?) other IRC servers and does notifications well. Quite happy with it, personally.
Yep, I wished matrix would replace discord and all other proprietary crap. Unfortunately the UX is still a bit lacking, but if you somewhat know what you are doing it's great.
Use a bouncer like ZNC and an app that supports it, and you can get push notifications on mentions.
mIRC has trigger words. Just input your username as one and when it comes up from someone else mentioning it your window blinks.
