Short answer: as of August 2026, Philips has not announced a DreamMapper shutdown, and the app is still receiving updates. The rumor is persistent enough that it deserves a straight answer — and whatever happens to the app, there are concrete steps worth taking now to make sure your therapy data stays yours. This page covers both.
Correction (August 2026)
An earlier version of this article treated a DreamMapper shutdown as an announced fact. We could not verify that against any primary source, so we have rewritten the article to reflect what is actually documented. The data-backup guidance below is unchanged — it was good advice either way.
Is DreamMapper Actually Shutting Down?
Not that anyone can document. Here is what we could verify at the time of writing:
- The DreamMapper app is still listed on the Apple App Store and Google Play, and its version history shows updates as recently as July 2026.
- Philips' own product pages continue to promote DreamMapper as a supported app for compatible therapy devices.
- We could find no Philips press release, support notice, or regulatory filing announcing a DreamMapper discontinuation.
If you have personally received an end-of-support notice — in the app, by email, or through your equipment provider — treat that as the authoritative source for your region and device, and confirm the details with your provider or Philips support. Manufacturer app support can differ by country and device generation.
Where the Shutdown Rumor Comes From
The confusion is understandable, because Philips' sleep business has produced a steady stream of genuinely bad news:
- June 2021: the DreamStation foam recall, affecting millions of CPAP and BiPAP devices.
- April 2024: a federal consent decree that, with limited exceptions, stops Philips Respironics from selling new sleep therapy devices in the United States until remediation requirements are met.
- January 1, 2026:Philips closed its US Patient Portal — the website where owners of recalled devices registered for replacement or refund. This closure is about the recall program, not about DreamMapper, but headlines about a "Philips patient portal closing" read a lot like an app shutdown if you skim them.
Put those together and "DreamMapper is shutting down" feels plausible, which is likely why the claim circulates. Plausible is not the same as announced. A company restricted from selling new devices in one market can still maintain the companion app for the installed base — and so far, that is what the evidence shows Philips doing.
Your Data Situation, Whatever Happens to the App
The sensible way to think about any manufacturer cloud app — DreamMapper, myAir, or anything else — is to know where your data physically lives:
On your SD card
If your DreamStation uses an SD card, your detailed therapy data is stored there in EDF format. This data is yours. It does not depend on DreamMapper, on Philips' servers, or on any subscription, and it stays readable no matter what happens to the app.
In the DreamMapper cloud
Session summaries and trend data synced to DreamMapper's servers exist at Philips' discretion. If the service were ever retired, cloud-side history might not be exportable in a machine-readable format. That is a structural risk of every manufacturer cloud, not a prediction about this one.
On your device's internal memory
Some DreamStation models store limited data in device memory. Your equipment provider or Philips support can advise on how to access it.
The Backup Habit Worth Having Anyway
You do not need a shutdown to justify this. Two habits make your therapy record independent of any company's roadmap:
- Copy your SD card periodically. Pull the card, copy its full contents to a dated folder on your computer, and put the card back. The raw EDF files are your most complete record. Our guide to downloading CPAP data from an SD card walks through the process.
- Export from DreamMapper occasionally. Use the app's report or export options (typically PDF reports) and save copies locally. Cloud-side summaries are the one part of your history you cannot regenerate from the SD card if server access ever changes.
If You Want More Than DreamMapper Shows
DreamMapper reports summary statistics — usage hours, AHI, mask fit. The detailed waveform data on your SD card supports much deeper analysis than any manufacturer summary app exposes.
For Respironics / DreamStation Users
AirwayLab
Browser-based PAP data analysis with no upload and no account. Support for DreamStation SD card data is on the roadmap. Your SD card keeps recording in the meantime, so no data is lost.
EncoreAnywhere
Philips' clinician portal. It's designed for care teams rather than patients, but your provider may give you access to reports from it.
For ResMed Users
myAir
ResMed's official app. It provides daily summaries and a simple score, synced via the machine's built-in cellular connection (no SD card required on supported models).
AirView
ResMed's clinical portal. Your care team may use this to review your data remotely.
AirwayLab
Reads ResMed SD card data (EDF format) directly in your browser — no account, no upload to any server. You get detailed analysis including breath-shape scores, flow limitation metrics, and oximetry data if you have a compatible pulse oximeter. The analysis engine is open source (GPL-3.0). See: OSCAR Alternatives for Web-Based CPAP Analysis.
What to Keep Regardless of Platform
- A copy of your SD card data — the raw EDF files are your most complete record
- Any PDF reports from your clinic visits
- Your prescription and device settings documentation
Your therapy data is most useful when it's accessible. Cloud-only records create dependency on a single provider's continued operation — and as the last few years of Philips news show, even large manufacturers change course.
