Mac users have discovered evidence of a new feature coming to a future release of macOS called "Pro Mode." This feature would temporarily remove restrictions imposed to keep Macs running coolly and quietly in order to boost short-term performance for demanding tasks common in professional workflows.

9to5Mac reports that users have found references to this "Pro Mode" in the macOS Catalina 10.15.3 beta. That included text describing the feature that says "fan speed limit may be overridden" and "apps may run faster, but battery life may decrease, and fan noise may increase."

The evidence found in the beta seems to indicate that Pro Mode would work something like Do Not Disturb: it would be an optional toggle that, by default, would automatically turn off again after a period of time.
