Informational, not medical advice. Talk to your sleep physician before changing your therapy, pressure, mask, or medications.

> **Not medical advice.** Don't change pressure, mask, or medications based on what you see here without talking to your sleep physician first.

> **Where these numbers come from** These numbers are read from your own device's export. Oxygen drop counts either come straight from your oximeter's own session summary (only for raw session files whose summary has been checked against the app; the page says so) or are computed by CPAP Clarity from the recorded readings; computed counts can differ slightly from what your device's own app shows, and when they disagree, treat the device's app as the reference. The therapy score is CPAP Clarity's own summary and has no device equivalent.

## Your DreamStation Data Is Yours, With or Without DreamMapper

DreamMapper has long been the app many Philips DreamStation owners use to check in on their therapy: usage, a nightly score, a rough sense of how the night went. It is still around. The app is still in the app stores, and the DreamMapper web portal still logs in. But a lot of DreamStation owners have grown uneasy about how long they can count on it, and there are real reasons for that.

In early 2024, Philips Respironics agreed to stop selling new sleep and breathing devices in the US, while continuing to service machines people already own. And on Philips' own recall page, a notice now states that the US Patient Portal, the site where owners of recall-affected devices registered and tracked remediation, is no longer available as of January 1, 2026, and that registration for affected CPAP and BiPAP devices in the US and Canada closed on December 31, 2024. None of that deletes your machine or your data. But it is a fair reminder that leaning on any one company's app or portal to see your own numbers is a bet you do not have to make.

## Your Data Was Never Trapped in the App

Here is the good news. Your therapy data does not live in DreamMapper. It lives on the SD card inside your machine. The app was only ever one window onto that card. Close that window and the data is still there, every night of it, waiting to be read.

You do not need DreamMapper, an account, or a working portal to see it. You need the card and a way to read it.

## Read Your DreamStation Data Free, in Your Browser

[CPAP Clarity](https://cpapclarity.com/) reads your DreamStation SD card right in your web browser. There is nothing to install and no account to make, and your data never leaves your device. You pop out the card, drop the whole folder onto the page, and your nights come back in plain language: usage hours, AHI and the events behind it, your pressure, and your mask leak.

It works for both generations. The original DreamStation writes files a few tools can open. The newer DreamStation 2 scrambles its card into an encrypted format, which is why a DreamStation 2 card often looks empty or unreadable elsewhere. CPAP Clarity unlocks that format on your own device and reads it. One honest caveat on the newer machine. Checked against OSCAR on a real DreamStation 2 card, the usage hours, the night count and every event count come out identical, and the only figure that ever differs is the 95th-percentile pressure, on 8 nights out of 1,392 and by less than 1 cmH2O. Our night-by-night gate for that model is still formally open, so read a DreamStation 2 95th-percentile pressure as close rather than confirmed. The full walkthrough, including exactly where the data sits on the card, is in the [Philips DreamStation data guide](https://cpapclarity.com/learn/philips-dreamstation-data-guide), and [what CPAP Clarity shows for a DreamStation](https://cpapclarity.com/for/dreamstation) is the shorter version.

If keeping your health data off other people's servers is part of why this matters to you, the [CPAP data privacy guide](https://cpapclarity.com/learn/cpap-data-privacy) explains how the browser-only approach works.

## What You Can See

Once the card is imported, you get the detail DreamMapper's summary never showed:

- **Usage:** hours per night, and how consistent you have been.
- **AHI, broken down:** obstructive, central, and hypopnea events, not just one number.
- **Pressure:** what your auto machine actually delivered through the night.
- **Leak:** whether your mask held its seal.

These are your own device's recordings, the same data a sleep clinic reads. What they mean for your therapy is a conversation for your doctor, and a printout from the therapy report makes that conversation easier.

## You Are Not Losing Your History

Losing an app feels like losing your records. It is not. As long as you have your machine and its SD card, you have your data, and you can pull it into a tool that shows it to you clearly. Import it once and it is saved in your browser so you can come back to it. [Read your DreamStation data now](https://cpapclarity.com/) with the card you already have.

## Frequently Asked Questions

**Is DreamMapper shutting down?**

As of now, no. DreamMapper is still in the app stores and its web portal still logs in. What changed is around it: Philips stopped selling new sleep devices in the US in 2024, and its US recall Patient Portal, a separate site used to register recall-affected devices, is no longer available as of January 1, 2026. Your DreamStation and its SD card are unaffected, and you can read the card directly whether or not you keep using DreamMapper.

**How do I see my DreamStation data without DreamMapper?**

Pop the SD card out of your machine and open it in a tool that reads the card directly. CPAP Clarity does this in your browser: drop the whole card folder onto the page and it shows your usage, AHI, pressure, and leak. Nothing installs, and nothing is uploaded.

**Can I still read my DreamStation 2 data?**

Yes. The DreamStation 2 stores its data in an encrypted format that many tools cannot open, which is why its card can look unreadable. CPAP Clarity unlocks that format inside your browser and reads it. You import it the same way, by selecting the whole card. Our night-by-night gate for that model is still formally open, so read a DreamStation 2 95th-percentile pressure as close rather than confirmed. Usage, event counts and the night count match OSCAR exactly.

**Did the Philips recall delete my data?**

No. The 2021 recall and Philips' later exit from the US device-sales market do not erase what is on your SD card. Your nightly recordings stay on the card in your machine, and you can read them yourself at any time.

**Is my data private if I read it this way?**

Yes. CPAP Clarity reads and processes your card entirely in your browser. Your DreamStation data is never uploaded to any server. There is no account, and closing the tab leaves nothing behind on our end.

**Do I need internet access to read my card?**

You need it to load the page the first time. The actual reading of your card happens on your own device, so your data never travels over the connection.
