    Two things worth separating, because they get argued as one. Whether the data is being collected is a question about your machine and its modem. Who can read it, and for how long is a question about the portal your supplier and clinic use, and about the account relationships behind it — which can outlive your relationship with that supplier unless somebody removes them. Neither question has a single answer across countries or manufacturers, and neither is answered by the leaflet in the box. The one thing under your own control in every case is keeping the detailed record yourself: How to Download CPAP Data from Your SD Card (ResMed, Philips, Löwenstein, BMC, Hoffrichter) covers getting it off the card.

    The permanent thread for "it would be great if…". Small ideas are welcome — some of the best changes have been three-line suggestions. A good request answers three questions What would you do with it? The task, not the widget. "I want to compare two nights side by side" tells us far more than "add a compare button", because there may be a better answer than a button. How often would you use it? Daily, at every clinic appointment, or once a year. That difference decides where an idea lands. What do you do today instead? The workaround is usually the clearest description of the problem. Please One idea per post, so it can be discussed and tracked separately. Say whether it is web, mobile or both — they are built separately. If someone has already asked for it, reply on their post rather than starting again. A request with ten replies is far more visible than ten requests with one each. What we will not do here Promise a date. Ideas get a "yes, queued", a "not soon, here's why", or a "no, and here's why" — but never a schedule. Take clinical feature requests that amount to "tell me what pressure to use". The product explains data; it does not prescribe therapy, and that is a deliberate line. Shipped ideas are announced in Announcements & Updates, credited to the thread they came from. Nothing on SomniTalk is medical advice. Talk to your own clinician before changing therapy.

    Moisture in the air alone won't help. You have to find a way to breath through the nose instead of mouth breathing. Some people use chinstraps to keep their mouth from opening involuntarily and some even use special mouth tapes. I wouldn't recommend mouth tape but a chinstrap may be worth a try

    This category is about the forum, not about the SomniCharts app. App bugs belong in Bug Reports; app ideas belong in Feature Requests. Fair game here: Something on the board is broken — a page that will not load, a button that does nothing, an email that never arrives, a layout that falls apart on your phone. The category structure does not fit how you actually think about the subject. Genuinely useful feedback, and easier to change now than later. A moderation decision you think was wrong. Say so once, calmly, and name the thread. Something is unreadable — contrast, font size, dark mode, or a table that will not scroll on a small screen. A rule that is unclear or that produces a silly outcome. Helpful details: what device and browser, what you clicked, what happened, and a screenshot with your own details cropped out. This board is in beta. Some of what you find will be half-finished, and telling us which half is the most useful thing you can do this week. Nothing on SomniTalk is medical advice. Talk to your own clinician before changing therapy.
