Somewhat similar tool to Autokey for MacOS that I use as a text expander.

Allows for great customization - appending ; to a phrase ensures you don't accidentally expand a keystroke into a phrase/URL/etc

";url" expands into "whatever string you configure"

Try Text Blaze (blaze.today). It's a Chrome extension, but desktop apps are also available for Mac and Windows.
