Persistent history including things that happened when you weren't connected. Obviously logging is easy, this isn't about client logs.

With phone notifications, you not only need to work for things that happened while not connected, it's bad form to require a permanent connection on android and you can't do it at all on an iphone.

Yeah, there is https://www.irccloud.com/ as well, and probably many other alternatives.
Perhaps what you need is a bouncer?
It's doable but it's tricky, requires a very stable place to put the bouncer, and it makes things vastly more complicated than being pointed to the closest client or web interface and logging in instantly.
