EQScore is your private, on-device emotional-intelligence coach — powered entirely by Apple Intelligence. Speak naturally — a reflection or a real conversation — and EQScore scores how you actually show up across the five Goleman EQ dimensions: self-awareness, self-regulation, empathy, social awareness, and relationship management. Everything happens on your iPhone. Nothing is uploaded. WHY EQSCORE • Private by design — Apple Speech and Apple Intelligence run on your device. Your words never leave your phone. No account, no tracking, no data collection. • Evidence-based — every score cites verbatim moments from your own words, so feedback is specific, not generic. • Live awareness — with Apple Watch, see your heart rate and tension in real time and get a gentle nudge to breathe when you spike. • Mirror Mode — rehearse a hard conversation with the front camera; on-device Vision reads your smile, eye contact, and tension. • EQ Coach — a private coach grounded in your own session history. EQScore needs an iPhone with Apple Intelligence for the full experience. Apple Watch is optional (for heart rate).

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: EQScore™ at none against Interval Timer's 2. EQScore™ also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.8) and review sentiment (100% vs 91%). Interval Timer's advantage is update cadence (every 2 days vs monthly) and ratings volume (77 vs 2). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
