Milanović and his team at COING designed, developed and launched Clockify, free time tracking software, which is similar in features to Toggl.[2]
Education and early life[edit]
Milanović grew up in Novi Sad, Serbia. Since a young age, he was interested in the development of information technology, and this interest later grew into a choice of profession.[3]
He is the graduate of the Faculty of Technical Sciences.[1]
Career in software engineering[edit]
When he was 15, Milanović built the first internet service in Novi Sad, which he later sold to an american fund.[4]
He founded, co-founded and advised several companies, and worked on several projects:
- NSWireless.org - a non-profit society he founded in 2003. This network, that started with one LAN cable, grew into a large infrastructure with 12 access points in Novi Sad.[3]
- The tool Pumble, aimed at helping marketing and PR professionals collaborate, and organize and evaluate their work.[5]
- The platform iQdemic, that helps pair up university alumni from all around the world and students wishing to enroll at these universities.[6]
Currently, he's an advisor at Lead Tech, Inc.[7] and the CEO and co-founder of COING, a software company mainly operating in Serbia, UK and USA. [8]
COING Inc[edit]
Milanović co-founded COING in 2009 [9]. The company's primary area of business is the development and implementation of Clockify, their software for tracking the allocation of time. COING's secondary area of business is the provision of consulting services about software development.[4]
The working personnel is international, and is distributed in three states.[4]
Clockify[edit]
Clockify is a product developed by Milanović and his team from COING, in 2017.[10] It's essentially a free time tracking software, one that has generated a lot of popularity since it was launched, attracting over 17,000 users in 5 days.[9]
Apart from tracking time automatically and manually, this software also enables users to generate and share reports, categorize activities, and perform various other actions, for free.[10][11]
Since going live, Clockify has appeared on lists of best time tracking apps.[12][13]
The most prominent users of Clockify are HPE and American Express.[4]
Continental AG controversy[edit]
Milanović is one of the Serbian experts in the field that strongly opposed.[14][15] to the decision of the Serbian government [16] to grant 9.5 million dollars in state subsidies to Continental AG, a German company that has opened a department in Novi Sad.[17][18]
The subsidy is meant to help Continental develop software in Serbia[19], and Milanović has stated that Continental will not create products and sell them in Serbia, so Serbia won't be able to tax Continetal's income[20], which brings the government's decision to grant the subsidy into question.
In relation to this, he wrote the German headquarters of Continental AG a protest letter[20], stating his opinion that their Serbian department is operating against the law. [21][22][23][24]. He notified their headquarters that the domestic IT sector has a problem with Continental receiving subsidies for the same operations Serbian IT companies perform, only without subsidies.[25]
He also pointed out that a subsidy to a foreign country will stifle the competition in the Serbian IT sector, which has no unemployed programmers.[19]

- "How New Technologies Change Everyday Life", on 5th June, 2018.[26]
